Now that you mentioned it and I never paid attention because I don't use the filtering on the shield but the fw_upgrade script only updates ads and malicious. All of the other categories are NOT updated and are static lists in /etc/itus/lists. However, you can selectively choose "ads" or "malicious" to update or not.

the UCI system has some quiet neat features that we can use. With uci get e2guardian.e2guardian.content_<VAR> you can read the e2guardian config file.

so i've added to the fw_upgrade script these lines:

# update ads rules
# To prevent the ads rules from updating put # in front (# uupdate_ads_rules)
	if [ $(uci get e2guardian.e2guardian.content_ads) = 1 ]; then
		update_ads_rules
		sleep 1
	fi

# update malicious sites rules
# To prevent the malicious rules from updating put # in front (# update_malicious_rules)
	if [ $(uci get e2guardian.e2guardian.content_malicious) = 1 ]; then
		update_malicious_rules	
		sleep 1
	fi

 
Who knows how the other lists are updated? If I check /etc/itus/lists I notice that the other files also have a recent time stamp.
