I think it's a good idea, but still there should be a firm barrier
from what goes in to "official" distribution and what is
in the middle zone. This rating could apply to both but I
think its only really useful in the middle zone (purgatory).
What kind of interface for voting do you have in mind ?
(how to vote + how to read the rate. integrate with emerge ... ?)
