For my part I would far prefer an enhancement to freshclam to allow it 
to download arbitrary third-party signature sets, much as SpamAssassin's 
"sa-update" tool can download third-party SpamAssassin rules without any 
upstream involvement.

Database (re)load time is already rather high with the current 
officially-distributed signatures, and many ongoing complaints 
substantially amount to "Database (re)load time is too long" and/or "I 
can't run Clam on a low-memory VPS".
