As penance for ranting I went back and re-read everything more
carefully, but feel free to ignore me if I am being unhelpful.
I don't think a -2 shortcircuit rule makes
Following up on my previous note I think we are working on #2. I see
that 8078 was reopened and there is some improvements / weighing in on a
patch from Giovanni that might resolve the issue too!

As someone that is running a large distributed spamassassin installation, I
depend on shortcircuit to handle large amounts of mail quickly that does
not need scored further. The change in behavior has potential for negative
impact that I will have to test carefully before moving to v4.

OK, so then we have really two Choices:
#1 accept that no code changes are needed, we've fixed a rule(s) we know
might trigger wrong around MISSING HEADERS and we just document the
change in the UPGRADE that shortcircuit may continue to run more meta
rules to finish them out which might not ha

Feel free to reopen the bug if you want, I really have no time or desire to
work on these right now. I didn't analyze if skipping do_meta_tests for
shortcircuiting has any negative consequences, but if someone wants to prove
it doesn't, go for it and I'll vote on it. It not enough to just post
I think that will have to go to discussion since if the rules don't short
circuit the way they used to, other rules outside of the ones we control
are going to act oddly. The one that was reported was with validity for
example.
What happens if I have a local rule that's high scoring and meta that
Of course it does and processing doesn't need to stop into a brickwall when
it activates. It simply finishes metas which is not that expensive and
might provide some additional useful hits. No sense postponing 4.0.0 to try
to tweak this further.

I have not checked but does the short circuiting actually work? The goal of
it is to lower the resource usage of the tool. If it continues to run and
generate longer than we have a problem still.

Fixed simply with some rule changes as described in the bug.
