They have *not* been zeroed out due to bad performance.
I thought I had enabled them by using the "sought.rules.yerp.org" sa-update channel, but apparently not, since that gets overridden by the copy in the main updates channel. Are the rules in the main updates channel being updated as often as the ones in the sought channel? A quick comparison shows that the two sets of rules on my system are different. I thought the sought rules were highly dynamic, so I'm surprised to see one of them show up in the main channel. -- Bowie
