I really appreciate the transparency with which this project is operating 
under. But one question that I have is whether or not you intend to have any 
bugfix releases between now and the RC? IOW, would the team be taking care of 
some of the little problems that have been reported before integrating big new 
features?

Also, there are a nice set of rules located at emergingthreats.net. Are there 
any plans to write any scripts that make downloading/updating rule sets easy 
to manage?
