I got clarification on this last night from one of the developers:

"We've reviewed the SARE files, and identified all other rules that overlap with 3.0.0, and have migrated them to new files.  For instance, see http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm#header

70_sare_header_x30.cf contains those rule(s) which duplicate 3.0, and should not be used with that version.

70_sare_header_x264_x30.cf contains those rule(s) which duplicate both 3.0 and 2.64, and should not be used with either of those versions.

If we've done it correctly, even if you include those files in your system you /should/ be OK, since we coded these files to give preference to the 2.64 and/or 3.0 rules. There should be no harm in including those files, other than increased overhead, but it's better for 3.0 installations to avoid the x30 files."
