Can you define "local rules" in this context?  SA first reads in the default
rules, then reads in the site rules, then looks at userprefs.

No, because then the local admin has no way to override/update the
default or update rule configs.  The default rules should be first, updated by
updates, overridden by the site config, overridden by the user config.
