OK, I'll do that for 3.3.1. For long term use, though, we'll need some way to cut a rules tarball using what's in SVN right now, rather than what was there on the previous night. in my opinion it's unsafe to risk differences between what's live in svn and what we're releasing, particularly if changes went in during that window. We can, of course, use the scores that were generated then (but with changes since then included too). -- --j.
