Right, but what I remembered from looking at this earlier, the generated
72_scores.cf (like the ones generated in june) seem to 'leave out'
different rules each time. Most of those ~56 are the same rules, but they
are not exactly. So each day some other rules are 'missing' and get the
default 1.0 score?

I compared the new 72_scores.cf against a few from june and what i
remembered seems to be correct, different rules disappear each day.

How are you countering this behaviour with a fixed
72_scores_temporary_fix.cf file? Or are you re-generating the
72_scores_temporary_fix.cf anew each day by comparing to the march 72
score file?

John Hardin said in an earlier mail: "The problem is 72_scores has
explicit bad scores in it.". Is this true? If so you override some rules
which do get generated in the ~56 set?
