I'm very cautious about a rating system - I don't think it will
produce as reliable results as the cleanup categories which the
documentation team can apply. I also think an advanced feature like
this is likely to be running before we are walking. We need to keep
our ideas simple and take things one step at a time. The
HelpWikiQualityAssurance specification deals with user feedback in a
simpler way - let's stick to that for now and see how it goes.
