They will get even bigger if the expire mechanism doesn't work. SA is
real bad at doing this itself.

Read this for reference:

The upgrade is no biggie. You just run "sa-learn --import" to do the
upgrade of the database. It's well described in the INSTALL/README files
of SA. Before I started expiring the databases myself SA got them
corrupted several times. Losing the Bayes scores was bad but the
training is quick and I think long learning periods are a little
overrated so you don't risk that much. But it's your call of course.
