>From historical observation, there is a period of overlap when two families get actively updated in sa-update, but once the current release (in this case 3.2) stabilizes and development starts to work on the next release (in this case 3.3) updates for the previous release (3.1.x) are more-or-less dropped unless there's a major issue with one of the rules (ie: if a dos in a rule regex cropped up). Besides, sa-update only updates half of spamassassin, the rules half, and it does not update the code. The latest rules won't help you if your HTML de-obfuscators and other such things are old, and that stuff lives in the code, not the rules. It changes quite a bit slower than the rules, but it does change, and does need updating sometimes.
