Rule QA: Completeness / Preflight?

I believe I checked  "916929: 2010-02-27 08:50:01"  twice today, and got
different numbers each time.  Is that because it wasn't complete?  Is there
a way to tell if it's complete?

Also, Is there no preflight check data, only nightlies and weekly
network checks?

I'm probably going to end up graphing the stats for the DNSWL tests from
the weekly network mass-checks from when they started in December 2006, so
if there's better data (preflight / sa-update) I'd like to know about it.
I noticed the statistics files that come with SA releases are only
updated every major release.

I'll be sure to hit non-detail URLs.

Yep, exactly.  (with additional checks to ensure the data is "good enough"
beforehand.)

Which data is used for the sa-updates?  Just the latest random weekly
network mass-check?

that's the ruleqa.spamassassin.org UI.

How about hit-frequencies output from the corpora used for sa-update
updates?

it's based on who's reported their logs -- give it time to complete.

nope -- preflights have been stopped, as they're quite CPU-intensive and
we don't have the hardware.
