I'd say let us users worry about that - plenty of overlap already to
deal with..  Snort (any IDS) takes lots of care and feeding, I think
we're use to that - especially if we choose to run competing rule

I'd also say do what's best long term for the ruleset..  Remember
good\easy\fast pick 2...

During the fork, I'd rename and drop the GPL tag so those with
pulledpork can do a pcre:GPL and automatically disable them on the VRT
side of things.
