[Bug 3842] New: remove support for naive-Bayes combining

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3842

           Summary: remove support for naive-Bayes combining
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules (Eval Tests)
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jm@jmason.org


We currently support both chi combining of probabilities and Gary-combining
(Robinson/Graham-style naive-Bayesian). However, I don't think anyone's actually
used the naive-Bayesian style one -- chi works just fine, ever since 2.50.

So we have all this dead code in Bayes.pm -- and dead code means:

  - we cannot precompile S and X values and speed up the probability combining
calculations

  - we have higher memory usage, since this dead code is still compiled

I propose removing it, so we only support chi combining.
