I disagree. I think it is a mistake to dismiss the article rating system _a priori_ as not being useful in the effort to create Wikipedia 1.0. This certainly is not the opinion of many participants on this list.
I second this. I would also like to stress that, while the current validation feature may not be optimal, switching it on would allow us to learn lessons and improve it. At the very least, assessed strenghts and weaknesses can be useful in designing the next validation feature - you know, the real one that will lead to 1.0 :-)
