Have there been any considerations to add support for the following ideas: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reviewed_article_version
People have not yet agreed on [[meta:Article_validation]] - even some basic issues, such as whether to show to anons the reviewed or latest version. I can't imagine support for this will be in 1.5.
That's a really bad thing, considering a pile of plans are hung waiting for just that feature or something like it.
The current suggestion is to try running ratings and see if they end up with sensible results. So rather than using the results, we just ... gather the data then the data is sanity-checked. This would mean making sure the feature was *stable* (production-ready) rather than *ideally feature-complete*, because what's done with any ratings would almost certainly change.
Would a test version of the feature (that gathers data but does not do things with it) be more of a prospect for 1.5?
