There's timing... I was just looking at this stuff yesterday.  I got the same

We used the mimedefang-filter.example as the base for our initial filter.
We made sure to keep the changes/adds simple and easy to spot -- clear
comments with our company name in them, only commenting out items
rather than removing them, etc.
This makes it very easy to spot differences between our filter and any
updated version of mimedefang-filter.example.  Using sdiff -o, we can
easily merge the new filter with ours, staying current with all of the
tweaks that David and contributors make.
What's everyone else doing with reference to the example filter?

Well, I used to go through the example filter on each upgrade and copy bits 
over, but ours has gotten extremely complicated over time, so now I just go 
through the changelog and look for things that would be useful or necessary.

We also have a lot of custom functions that we keep in a separate file.
Eventually I plan to do a massive cleanup, at which point it should become 
feasible to maintain the rest of our changes as a diff and keep things more 
in sync.
