 I had a ruleset for NewsBlur that was working perfectly. The new NewsBlur
 rules bundled with the latest HTTPS-Everywhere stable release have broken
 it.

 Existing ruleset:
 {{{
 <ruleset name="NewsBlur Wildcard">
         <target host="*.newsblur.com" />
         <rule from="^http://([^/:@]*)\.newsblur\.com/"
 to="https://$1.newsblur.com/"/>
 </ruleset>
 }}}
 Problem: the new ruleset does not include icons.newsblur.com, which means
 that all RSS feed icons are excluded. I have tried renaming my existing
 ruleset (as you see) and disabling the bundled one, but the site remains
 broken. What's going on? Is there still a conflict between the bundled
 rule and my custom rule?
