I really have to agree.   

I *do* agree that we need to support using SA (and sa-update) without requiring
that the default ruleset be used -- but in this case, using sa-update to
download thirdparty rulesets *without* also downloading updates to the default
ruleset is a very unusual case; I doubt there's anyone in the world yet doing 
this.

IMO, it'd make most sense if that was not permitted unless explicitly requested
using a new "--no-default-rules" switch or similar.
