the problem is that it needs to read the rules from rulesrc/sandbox/* -- and those rules are pretty dependent in places on the rules in rulesrc/core. Those rules, in turn, are the 3.2.0 core ruleset, which doesn't mix well with (ie stomps all over) the 3.1.x core ruleset. We could come up with a way to use the 3.2.0 core ruleset in place of the 3.1.x one -- but I think the effort required would be too much, esp. since it's easier to just concentrate on the 3.2.0 release instead. > I also think there may be an issue wrt the amount of results that > we currently have, or lack thereof. actually, we're doing pretty well there -- there was a nightly mass-check last week featuring data from 7 contributors. --j.
