Also note that at some point in the hazy, undefined, future, I plan to
wipe the ratings, and rebuild them solely from reviews, thus
eliminating the ratings that existed prior to the review system.

When? Well, if matt had his way, it would have been day one. :)

I've been putting it off until we have enough reviews for it to
provide meaningful numbers. Some plugins have that, some don't. I
don't know exactly when I'll think it's critical mass time, but
whenever we decide to do that, all ratings will get a reset and then
there will be some re-coding to fix up everything. This is why the
ratings system is so screwy now, because multiple types and sets of
ratings are in multiple places. After the big cleanse, it will be much
simpler.
