Exactly, a critical step of determining what new scores should be, and just which rules should have scores of 0 once 3.1.0 goes into production.

You probably shouldn't be using the svn trunk files in a production environment then, and should not be using pre-release files that don't work for you (such as those with all rules at non-zero scores).

If you zero out some of the very low scoring rules, you may also be disabling the significantly scored and very useful meta rules that rely on those. Bob Menschel
