[rules-users] Declaring events separately from rules breaks expires

[Edson Tirelli]

   Please open a JIRA. If it is not creating a new fact type, i.e.,
only attaching metadata to existing types, it should either "merge"
metadata or raise errors.

   Also, documentation was not updated in that place. Can you mention
that please, as we need to fix as well. Explicit expiration policies
override implicit ones.

   Thanks,
      Edson
