The rules files to drop entirely are mentioned in Dan's notice. I assume
you got those.

We've reviewed the SARE files, and identified all other rules that
overlap with 3.0.0, and have migrated them to new files.  For instance,
see http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm#header

70_sare_header_x30.cf contains those rule(s) which duplicate 3.0, and
should not be used with that version.

70_sare_header_x264_x30.cf contains those rule(s) which duplicate both
3.0 and 2.64, and should not be used with either of those versions.

If we've done it correctly, even if you include those files in your
system you /should/ be OK, since we coded these files to give preference
to the 2.64 and/or 3.0 rules. There should be no harm in including those
files, other than increased overhead, but it's better for 3.0
installations to avoid the x30 files.
