bug 5240: disable plugins by default via sa-update unless new
--allowplugins option is specified


though i read the sa-update manpage, & read the commit here,

 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/spamassassin/commits/92025

and, found nothing on the wiki, i'm unclear.

can someone explain why this is important?  what it does do for me?

as this is a new/recent change, does the addition of this option
TOGGLE any previously default functionality?

what do i need to do/change in order to keep my functionality 'as before'?

fwiw, my current sa-update cron job, that's been working fine until now, is,

 sudo -u spamassassin /usr/local/spamassassin/bin/sa-update \
 --channelfile /var/spamassassin/sa-update-channels.conf \
 --gpghomedir /var/security/gpg-homedir \
 > /dev/null

do i need to change it to not 'lose' any capability?

thanks.
