The man page is pretty straightforward IMO.

sigh.

ok.

as it's clear to one of the developers (!), it _must_ just be me, then. ;-)

> do i need to change it to not 'lose' any capability?

it depends on the channels you were using.  it doesn't change anything
for the official SA channel.  YMMV for third-party channels.  imo,
don't worry about it right now.

Hope this clarifies some more. :)

yes, it does clarify the "what?", nicely. thanks!

now, the "for which?"  is there a wiki page, or some commentay here on
list (yet?), from others/all as to which/what to 'trust' -- or more
importantly, *not* trust?

given that SA's scoring is all about building trust, and, at least at
the beginning, accepting the "community's" recommendations for default
scoring/trust, i'm curious, then, as to recommendations _here_.

e.g., _i_ currently run cron jobs that regularly exec,

        sa-update --channelfile .../DIST-channels.conf
        sa-update --channelfile .../SARE-channels.conf

where,

        cat .../DIST-channels.conf
                updates.spamassassin.org

and

        cat .../SARE-channels.conf

since i certainly trust the project, and DOS' contributions, should i
simply mod my cron jobs to,

        sa-update --allowplugins --channelfile .../DIST-channels.conf
        sa-update --allowplugins --channelfile .../SARE-channels.conf

?

in the first case, its clear to trust ... but in the second (SARE)
case, which channel/author am i actually trusting? DOS, SARE, others?

what do folks here recommend?

thanks.
