Esp module may be effectively outdated and SpamAssassin releases are not frequent as I would love to, for me there is no problem in removing the module from SpamAssassin src tree and work on it out-of-tree.
As a user with no business commenting on dev@ or material knowledge of the SA architecture, this is a bit disappointing to me. Keeping external plugins up-to-date is somewhat of a pain, at least unless it comes via distro packages, which would also suffer the update problem.
At the same time, the ESP module was one of the features of SA 4 that I was most excited about - the ability to learn on and classify specific senders even though they hide behind ESPs sounds like it could, at least in theory, be quite effective.
Of course updates for such a thing are going to be a problem, and I don't know enough about the SA updates architecture, but if that could provide feeds to keep the ESP match-and-decode (regex) rules up-to-date it seems like it'd be very powerful for semi-default-install SA, which isn't all that uncommon.
