The usual solution in these cases would be to create a lightweight, no bureaucracy version, akin to PROD. Article rating was a nice technical solution that had a few major bugs like not actually working, but what if we strayed away from version rating and had general ratings on articles? i.e. instead of the database nightmare just let articles all have 1-5 ratings, with some option like "if ten people vote to clear ratings, the ratings are reset" so as to not have articles sandbagged with ratings of ancient versions?
Write it and get the code past Brion?
Put together an implementation in templates? Presumably to be put on the talk page.
