So, we wouldn't be able to unlearn historical emails (processed before the 
upgrade), but there'd be few other side-effects?

Or am I missing something?

The issue I'm referring to is in bug 5185.

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5185

Based on this, my understanding is that the msg_ids will no longer be 
calculated the same so you can't unlearn a message and might learn duplicates 
if you upgrade from 3.3.X to 3.4.0.

I believe we should recommend restarting the bayes database with 3.4.0 and I've 
added notes to the proposed announcement to that end as follows:


Important Bayes Change
----------------------

Beyond the ability to use redis as a Bayes backend server, Bug 5185 changed
the way that message IDs were calculated for emails.

Because of this change, you can't unlearn a message if you upgrade from
3.3.X to 3.4.0 and you might learn emails twice.  It is likely best to
clear your Bayes store and start from scratch to avoid any issues.


Thoughts?
