Hi,

This file has annoyed me on a number of occasions. I work with a full git 
checkout and tend to use utilities like ‘git grep’ a lot, and this file often 
gets a hit in those searches, and due to its size spams the results rendering 
it almost impossible to view any after that file.

One option, if the port still needs to patch these rules, would be to store it 
compressed in git, and uncompress it on the fly during patching
