As loren replied to the group, his comment was not added to this ticket, I'm 
quoting him below:

Loren said:
I suggest that to make this work that either SA or the rulsets designers
need a way to categorize negative scoring tests, so that all of them can be
run before other preemptive tests.

Fred replies with:
This functionality is already in the 3.0 series, it was required to force AWL 
to run at the very end of all other tests.  I think now that the priorities 
have been added for tests, this might become a possibility in the future (3.x 
series?)
It used to exsist in previous versions of SA but it was broken and removed.  
Now that the core has changed enough, it might be a good possibility again.

This idea might be improved to stop scanning after SA has reached the autolearn 
score.  Then again, the AWL would be impacted by the reduction in scores for 
some messages.  That might turn in either direction, not sure of that outcome.

A point that Loren made was to run negative scores before positive scores, and 
that made me think of another problem, how to deal with negative meta tests 
that are really just a combination of positive scoring tests?  I have such meta 
to counter SUSPICIOUS_RECIPS && SORTED_RECIPS.  Those are two positive scoring 
tests of 2.63, so this would need to be considered.

Then another idea, what about negative meta tests that are combined positive 
meta tests?  For example, if SUSPICIOUS_RECIPS && SORTED_RECIPS were both meta 
rules themselves, would my negative scoring rule be taken into consideration 
and how?
