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!

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.

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.
