Thank you. I just moved the rule back from "dropped" to "confirmed" in
the wiki. 

I am glad you confirmed the default level setting. My first pull request
is mostly done and I just moved the anomaly score evaluation and
correlation to level 0 while the other rules are running in level 1.
That works nicely.

Absolutely.

You came up with a proposal. It was too narrow for me. My
proposal in the mechanics blogpost was probably to broad.
Right now, the definition of the paranoia stuff in
modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf.example reads:

...
# The possible paranoia levels are 0,1,2,3 and 4.
#
# FIXME
# Level 0: ...
# Level 1: ...
# Level 2: ...
# Level 3: ...
# Level 4: ...
...

:-)
