PDS_URISHORTENER or __KAM_SHORT

I'm working on a rule to up the spam score for messages that contain a
large number (>=30) of Mailchimp CSS declarations and a link shortener,
since all links in something actually sent through Mailchimp are forced
through their click tracking, this is turning out to be a decent indicator.

In the debug output I see these two rules PDS_URISHORTENER and
__KAM_SHORT. Are their pros/cons for using one over the other?

PDS_URISHORTENER has the advantage that you can easily extend it.

However if you are running KAM rules anyway, you could just OR them.
