Is a migration document really necessary? Stop using the rule files

Agreed - I do like to lunch. Though the last time I counted there are 26
rulesets on the SARE site but only 20 on your channels page.
I don't have a channels page. I will in the future, but it's way down
the list of things to do.
My howto says:
Channels names are created by prepending the .cf file name found on
the SARE site (http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm) to
".sare.sa-update.dostech.net".
It has no mention of there only being a subset of the rules available.
They're all there, even some old ones that aren't listed on the rules
page anymore. The current count is one hundred (100) channels, some of
which are pretty much useless though, as they're rules for old versions
of SA.
If you want to confirm I have a ruleset, either check DNS, or do what a
good 75% of the people currently using the channels have done and check
out the index of the directory housing all the channels:

A migration document which covers why this is the case and what to do
about the other rulesets covered by RDJ or there status as they are
added to the number of rulesets that can be updated via sa-update may be
very useful.
As a said before, the only channels that aren't currently provided are
ones for Bill Stearns rules and I think at least some of those are used
for input to SURBL anyway.
So:
- it's not really the case
- new SARE rulesets are added immediately (as in less than 5 minutes)
Feel free, though, to edit the SpamAssassin wiki to improve the
documentation there as you see fit. This and my last two emails to this
thread should have all the necessary info.
