after seeing the uses of rule updates in the field, I'd say it'd be more
appropriate if updates.spamassassin *was* a required channel, triggering
additional paranoia about leaving empty rules dirs behind.  We could possibly
add a command-line switch to disable this error-checking, but IMO it's better
than allowing PEBKAC errors so easily...

is that linked from the *real* FAQ anywhere?

hmm.... might be worth considering this for 3.3.0.  how's about opening a bug to
discuss it?
