Comment (by legind):

 > Okay, to be clear the "Rulesets version for EFF (full)" item behind the
 HTTPS Everywhere button is bound to the ruleset update done by the
 extension? That is, as long as no update check (successfully) happened
 that UI piece does not update even though all the rulesets are there due
 to the extensions update?

 Yes, this is correct.  We do extension updates less often than ruleset
 updates, so the rulesets bundled with the extension may be a little out of
 date, but even if there is no "Rulesets version for EFF (full)" item
 displayed, there will be rulesets in effect.
