When it comes down to it, the body/header/etc rules aren't any different

Similarly, the DNS rules have had the same API for ages. Adding and
removing new block lists can be done independent of release/branch.
On the flip side, replace_rules, while being text match, are highly
dependent on releases which have the ReplaceTags plugin.
The use or non-use of "eval:" is not particularly relevant. What is
relevant is the "version dependence" and ubiquity of the underlying
mechanism and the amount of information contained in the rule definition.
