Do you mean, then, to link a future 3.0.1 directory to the 3.0.0
directory?

I'm wondering whether it might be better to have a generic 3.0/rules/
directory, with files that apply to all 3.0.x versions there, and link
those files into the 3.0.x directories. The goal is to have one place to
deposit rules depending upon where they apply.

And when someone develops a rule that fits 3.0.2 through 3.0.4 only, then
it can be put into a 3.0.2-4/rules/ directory, and linked to the three
version-specific directories.  Would this be along the lines you were
thinking of?

A complication: Once there is a 3.0.0, 3.0.1, and 3.0.2, are we going to
want to do three nightly runs? How do we automate a multitude of testing
versions?
