That's somewhat helpful, but I'm not sure I'm clear on how PulledPork
understands the difference between VRT and ETPro rule files.
For example, VRT and ETPro have a rule file called "ftp". If I disable
ftp rules in the diablesid file, how does Pulledpork know which to disable?
I assume it disables both, but I'm hoping there's a way to only disable
the ETpro rule file and leave the (tuned) VRT rules in place.

At the top of the pulledpork.conf file, there is the rule_url specifications. 
  To get remove a ruleset completely and quickly, comment out the rule_url you 
don't want to download.

After you want to add it back in, check out the disablesid.conf file, and the 
syntax that is in there for disabling rule files individually.

We're running pulledpork for rulemanagemnts and use it to pull down VRT
and ETPro rulesets.
We'd like to be able to disable All the ETPro rules and enable them
slowly for tuning purposes.
Is there any way to do this without disabling the VRT rules as well.
For example, if I add "ftp" to the disablesid file, that should disable
all FTP rules for both VRT and ETPro.
Suppose I only wanted to disable the ETPro Ftp rules, how could that be
handled?
