The tool ruleup - I think it first appeared in 3.0 - is able to read a ruleset from the previous version, upgrade it to the current version, and save it. The ruleset compatibility code adds a lot of stuff that is unused to support upgrading other rulesets that needs those features. In 3.1 I have made it clean up some - but not all - unused stuff by default. This includes unused items that were there before the upgrade. A new argument, currently called --dirty, turns the clean up off. Would you prefer if it didn't clean up the ruleset by default and that you would have to specify as an argument - say --clean, that you wanted the clean up?

I'd prefer it by dirty default please.

I figure going dirty by default would probably be the safer route – unused items from before the upgrade might have been there for a reason.

Thank you for your feed back. Than dirty by default it is.
