 Wouldn't that be equivalent to "if (0) debug" ?

 This warning is more for the rule developers so that they can put
"if (version >= 3.003002)" around the problematic rule. If there was some
 way to suppress it except during a full make, that might be a better
 solution than version checks. Would dbg() do that?

Good point. I think you can remove the code. It won't apply in anything after 3.3.2 clearly.

Do we want to be aware of creating rules that may cause problems for pre-3.3.2 installs? As I said, the primary use of that warning is for rule devs.

Or is sa-update on trunk no longer feeding rule updates to 3.3.1 and older versions so it truly is no longer an issue?

I will add this to my list o' rule gen questions as I believe we are generating rules. And I'm sorry I read this poorly and now understand the debug is so developers use if version loops.

Do people really care if the debug output is long?
