But if we are going to update this, why not update it with the current
audit_filter_task(), audit_del_rule(), and audit_add_rule() code?

Hmmm...  One reason is that some of them have changed beyond recognition.

And this example code predates v2.6.12.  ;-)

So good eyes, but I believe that this really does reflect the ancient
code...

On the other hand, would you have ideas for more modern replacement
examples?
