I think having users systems would be profiled may help ease the ricer issu= e. =20 fex, user A has 3 systems, and marks package B as "!WFM" on one. devs can= =20 cross link that negative mark to the system profile and note that it's "-O1= 2=20 =2D-omg-itsofast", and disregard the negative mark. You could even take it= a=20 step further and setup ratings for the registered users, and those who end = up=20 with a set negativity don't count or something (for the ricers).. Not saying this is something that stability or instability should be=20 automatically assumed from, but that it be used as another tool. Something= =20 to bridge that "poweruser" - "dev" gap.
