We have always known that the effectiveness of SpamAssassin
deteriorates over time between releases. If users are able to generate
their own scores, SpamAssassin will continue to give them very good
hit rates.

In some ways, we're kinda like Debian. We make large releases fairly
infrequently, and users are forced to resort to third parties in order
to meet their needs (for Debian, this is third party backports of
Debian packages). If we distribute scripts that make it easy to make
your own scores, people can do this when their hit rates start
deteriorating and it extends the useful life of SpamAssassin.

My "3 month" figure is a bit of an exaggeration.
