[rules-users] problems with Otherwise()

[Mark Proctor]

Otherwise() was removed, I wasn't happy with the implementation, heh 
wasn't even aware that anyone was using it. Sorry.

If I assert an object of a different type or do not assert anything, the rule I would expect to fire ('no matching rule') never fires.  The only way I can get it to fire is if I explicitly assert an instance of Otherwise.
