More if you count the modules and the commandline tools.
I just had the crazy idea that I could keep rules in one

beginning to look unwieldy to anyone else? (rhetorical,

Well -- you could if you wanted to, but then you have to do
some work to deal
with it. You can't expect a tool which works one way to do
something else without doing anything.
You could, if you set the updates directory to
/usr/share/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates or something like that to keep
it in an updates folder under your site config... I'm not exactly sure
what the thinking was in moving the updates to /var/lib instead of
keeping them with /usr/share with the original rules. I wonder why
sa-update doesn't just create a version folder under /share/spamassassin
and use that... Certainly would be less to keep track of and purge when
you install a new version.
Updates are variable... they go in /var. Anywhere else wouldn't be
following FHS.
