It seems to me that it would not be difficult to create a script into
which one could wrap the rule update process, whether that be oinkmaster
or one of the other scripts I've seen that does the work of
auto-updating.

Preparing to know when the switchover happens automatically is a good
thing.

Performing the switchover automatically is a bad thing..  It's not
unheard of for a new rule to trigger so many times in your environment
and have all output systems flood over everything.

Rather than rehashing the entire argument though, this is a great one
to look at the archives FIRST and then see if there's something new to
add.
