It is expected that the end-user will generate the sid-msg.map file at his end...say using Pulled Pork.
I guess that file might be soon removed from future tar balls, or at least that's what I remember being told by 
others (like Joel) on the list.

Sorry for the confusion.  As surmised, I was asking about sid-msg.map.  So, it is expected that the etc/sid-msg.,ap 
file provided in the VRT signature tarball is incomplete and does not include mappings for all of the snort 
signatures provided in the tarball ?

sid-msg.map or gen-msg.map? the subject indicates one, while the body indicates the other.. that said sid-msg.map 
seems to make the most sense.

Joel, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that the expectation is that users generate their own sid-msg.map 
going forward, this guarantees that local.rules etc.. are included in said sid-msg.map.  PulledPork natively does 
this, and Oinkmaster includes a contrib script that does this.

You are correct.
