I'm a little confused as to why this is needed too.  I think I was a little
annoyed by the numerous crap rules that got committed & promoted a month ago
when I agreed with this... I never found the mail I had thought I had sent and
thinking about it more, I think I was going to write a mail opposing the idea.

How many people are committing rules that they don't want published if
appropriate?  Is it really more than the number of rules than they do want
published?  If there's more than a few rules being committed that aren't
appropriate for publishing, say just to satisfy curiosities, why is this the 
case?

Rather than have to specify a tflag for every rule, how about (if people don't
want to use T_ rule naming) have something like "testing_rules" that works like
"require_version" where any rules past the marker would be treated as being in
testing.  Thus to allow a rule to be published you would just move it above the
marker.  This'd also avoid the current issue of needing to add a publish tflag
to every single rule in the base rules directory.

I know that as it is now, any rules I do commit to my sandbox will/would include
the publish tflag... I'm not going to wait for initial results and then go back
and add the tflags... that's what the promotion criteria is for.
