There is a lot to say for this proposal, it uses git under the covers so 
that it's easy to branch and merge, but there is a website that can be 
used to pull a tarball of the rules for people who just want a copy and 
don't want to change anything.

one thing that everyone needs to realize, rules that are considered 'good' 
today will be considered 'bad' at some point in the future when we realize 
that they match something other than what was intended. This isn't a 
failure in the project, just incomplete information at the time the rule 
was created.
