 Notwithstanding this excellent advice, I feel that the FAQ answer to the
"How can I disable some Rspamd rules safely" question could be somewhat
improved: first, it would be great to have a concrete example. Second, it
mentions several ways of disabling a rule, but doesn't say what are the
advantages and drawbacks of each of them and it's not really clear which
one to choose (it does say that the first one is "easiest", but it doesn't
really seem to be easier than using "enabled = false" or "symbols_disabled"
to me).

 Unfortunately, I don't know the answers to these questions myself, so I
can't contribute a fix, but I just wanted to mention that it could well be
worth improving this section of the FAQ.
