Possibly, though that only seems to be partially the problem. There are 
sandbox rules with non-net scoresets scored but network scoresets zeroed. 
Some of these are _not_ dependency roots, e.g. MONEY_FRAUD_5, so your 
proposed change wouldn't fix them.

I'd suggest _no_ rule in 72_scores should get a zero score for any 
scoreset. If it's good enough to be promoted it should have at least a 
0.001 score.
