I'd suggest addign soemthing like:
After running sa-update for the first time old rules which are provided
through one of sa-update's channels should be removed from
/etc/mail/spamassassin (or whichever is our local rules directory) because
the rules in this directory will take precedence over the rules in
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.xxxx/.

-------------------------
I agree that /etc/mail/spamassassin (or /etc/spamassassin) needs cleaned up
after an upgrade that includes a run of of sa-update for the first time.
But I don't think you mean exactly what you said above - "...old rules which
are provided through one of sa-update's channels should be removed from
/etc/mail/spamassassin". As you know, sa-update doesn't put rules in that
directory. Those would've been put there, perhaps, by RulesDuJour or
manually. SARE rules, especially, are what need cleaned up from that
directory, and perhaps others that have since been included in your newer
distro.
Still a Linux beginner and not a sysadmin, I have learned a lot about
sa-update the last couple of days, and SA is working great. Thanks to
