If you use pulled pork to download your rules, it will show all the
changes, including the shared object rules.

This is a much better way of looking at what you are about to deploy
than a page on a web site. Hopefully, the next release of pulled pork
will give you the option of creating a changelog file. This way you
can see the changes between what you have and what you are getting, as
opposed to the changes between subsequent files.
