He means :
freshclam.conf
# Download an additional 3rd party signature database distributed through
# the ClamAV mirrors.
# This option can be used multiple times.
#ExtraDatabase dbname1
#ExtraDatabase dbname2
Do we aggree that any signatures which are NOT written by Sourcefire
staff are third party?
That would be the freshclam "opt-in" option
ExtraDatabase crdfam.clamav.hdb
(or whatever the naming would be)
If suddenly the CRDF sigs have a badhair day, they can be easily "disabled".
And ppl running on limited resources would have a little bit of extra
control.
What else would "ExtraDatabase" be used for?

Nothing prevents anyone from using 3rd party sigs. We just want to
incorporate 3rd party sigs into the official repo, for more coverage,
for more users.
If ClamAV has, say, 10M users, how many of those 10M do you suppose
also run 3rd party sigs? I’d say less that 5%.

My guess is that Benny doens't really mean "silly" but probably is
his "special" way of saying that it would be nice to be able to
opt-in to third party sigs.

what ExtraDatabase is it in freshclam ? It’s not. It’s in
