""use_bayes" is used to do several things:

 - stop BAYES rules from being used
 - stop auto-learning from happening ("bayes_auto_learn" also does this)

I can't think of any reason why someone would use "use_bayes" to turn off
manual learning or dumping."

you're view is a little bit off here.  "use_bayes" tells the SA code to not use 
the Bayes code, any Bayes 
DBs, etc.  It's an on/off flag for the whole thing.  As part of that of course, 
rules and autolearning are 
disabled since the whole thing is being disabled.

quinlan:
"I propose that we change the "use_bayes" option only turn off automatic
activity: checks and auto-learning, but we should ignore the setting for
manual operations.  I agree with Theo that the override should not be done
in sa-learn.  It should just be part of how the option works."

-1 per my other mail.


I think there are really three options here:

1) We let sa-learn override use_bayes.

2) We tell people that in debugging situations, make a temp config ala:
use_bayes 1
include_config /path/to/something

and do "sa-learn -p temp_config"

3) add in more configuration options for the different pieces of bayes.  ie: 
use_bayes_scan, 
use_bayes_learn, etc.  IMO, this is a good option since we already break out 
some options like this 
anyway (bayes_auto_learn, bayes_learn_to_journal, bayes_auto_expire, 
bayes_learn_during_report, etc.)


I'd be +1 for #2 or #3, but -1 for #1.
