The JM_SOUGHT ruleset are body rules, extracted automatically from the

This is achieved with no manual steps required at all, so that's quite
nice ;)
On the other hand, they could potentially be used to cause false
positives; review of the generated rules happens *after* they're
published (in other words they're C-T-R).
I'm currently publishing these as a separate ruleset at
sought.rules.yerp.org -- http://taint.org/2007/08/15/004348a.html
They're also checked into SVN trunk, but that's really to get an idea of
FP/FNs using the rule-QA system.
I would call it stable.
I'm wondering what to do with them now -- I see these options:
1. leave it at sought.rules.yerp.org, effectively an unofficial side
project to SpamAssassin.
2. move it into SpamAssassin SVN, and publish the generated rules into
the "core" 3.2.x rule updates, changing our rule-update generation
criteria to support this.
3. move it into SpamAssassin SVN, rename to something without the "JM"
prefix, and publish the generated rules at a new URL like
sought.rules.SpamAssassin.org . This would then be the first of a new
site of SpamAssassin-hosted add-on rulesets, which are free to use
different promotion criteria from the default "core" set.
What do people think?

- don't see the point of body rules containing short lived URIs
- reduce file size massively. Ppl could get surpised by memory used by
adding an 80kb rule file (as well as possible noticeable speed issues)
(same SA list questions as with blacklist.cf .-)
- maybe rule generation run thru a spam_du_jour corpus only?
