 A user on the blog
 (https://blog.torproject.org/comment/279696#comment-279696) noticed that
 updates we ship do not seem to update the rulesets. While the HTTPS-
 Everywhere version is updated, the rulesets version shown by clicking on
 the HTTPS-Everywhere icon is still the old one.

 While this issue goes away with the regular rulesets update in the
 background, it seems weird that the rulesets do not seem to get updated in
 the first place.
