I do not use rules_du_jour either because my boss wants to review the 
changes before they are put into production (don't laugh!)... so I fetch 
them into a temp directory and send out an email whenever one rule 
changed.  If I don't get any comment from my boss, the rules are moved 
into production on the next day.  So far this system saved me some 
trouble when there was a problem with one SARE rule: I just deleted the 
file in my temp directory and waited for the corrected version to appear 
on the next day.

I don't run sa-update either (it is disabled, but I think I will enable 
it).  So my files were probably installed at the same time I installed 
SA 3.1.7.
