the tools being used should automatically attempt to fall back to the previous 
rules sets... in the firewall project i work with, we have spent a lot of time 
working on doing just this to prevent the tons of support posts inquiring why 
our users who are VRT registered users cannot download the rules for the newest 
snort when they update their installations...

IMHO, pulledpork should also perform this feat of majik if for no other reason 
than to ward off all these posts like this when newer snorts are released and 
registered subscribers cannot access those snort version specific rules sets for 
30 days...
