Explicit Promotion
==================
The ruleqa system periodically has problems where it gets stuck having
processed only the bb-* corpora but not others. This seems to cause the
combined results to swing wildly and rules are promoted and demoted for
seemingly no reason.
Suggestion: rule promotion/demotion requires a certain "quorum" of both bb-* and
non-bb* corpora to happen. It already requires a quorum of N corpora (of any
type). If it doesn't meet this, the existing promoted rules list is kept as-is.
I mean there is something seriously wrong in the automc code where due
to a race condition or something it often gets stuck having processed
only bb-* but nothing else. This causes the results to wildly swing
from one day to another day.
