I vote in favor.

Also, if people are just running something akin to 'find /path/to/rules
- -type f -iname \*sig-msg.map -exec cat {} > /path/to/sid-msg.map', I
would strongly suggest not doing so.

Instead, use the utility scripts that come with oinkmaster
(create-sidmap.pl, addsid.pl) that will actually parse the rules, and
generate a sid-msg.map/fix things for you.  It's much safer that way,
especially if you use barnyard.  Otherwise, you run the chance of rules
missing from the sidmaps, or malformed rules w/o sids or msgs causing
you headaches.

Can you tell I've been bitten by this in the past?  *grin*

In response to multiple requests from users, we here at Sourcefire are
considering making a small change to the format of Community rulepacks:
we'd like to change the name of sid-msg.map to community-sid-msg.map.
This would eliminate the naming conflict with sid-msg.map from the VRT
rule set. Before we do so, though, we wanted to check with the community
at large, to ensure that this change won't break anyone's
scripts/tools/etc. If you know of any problems this would cause, please
let us know now, so that we can work with you to prevent such problems
while still eliminating this conflict.
