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 have occurred previously.
Some users using SHORT CIRCUIT would likely be best to weigh in on this
because we are going to conceivably change the classification of mails
unexpectedly different from 3.4.6 SHORT CIRCUIT behavior.
#2 Work on the code so that short circuiting or at least the scoring
behaves as with 3.4.6.

KAM

That's more or less what I was getting at. If there is not a clear
specification (i.e. the documentation says that it works like X) that
people can properly rely on, then the pedant in me says that behavior
changing slightly, but still within the swim lane implied by the
previous non-spec, is not a bug.
