I think it's the later. The short circuit plugin is likely not that
much used so perhaps document the issue in the plugin as a needed
enhancement and update the bug.
Beyond that, i encourage you to implement it AND document the priority
as best you can while you do it to help others behind us.
Best,

Subject: Rule priority

Is there a good discussion on how rule priority works, and short-circuited
evaluation, etc?
I must be looking in the wrong places because I can’t find much. I found
register_method_priority() in ::Plugin but I wasn’t sure if that’s all there
is… It only seems to be called in Plugin::Reuse::new() (well, you’d expect it
in the constructor).
Looking in the rules themselves, also, there aren’t that many rules which have
an explicitly configured priority.
I ask because I’m trying to address this comment:
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7060#c10
but the source base doesn’t really contain a lot of useful examples.
Thanks,
-Philip
