I dont think you should be so quick to over-ride that maintainer's  
evaluation. It would seem likely that they have looked into it a bit  
deeper than the average user. (Maybe weight the maintainers rating)

Also may move to marks out of ten rather than ill-defined garbage...gold.  
I would doubt anything under wine merits gold and garbage mean many things  
to many ppl.

Using less emotive number ratings allows more objective ratings and finer  
granularity (0-10 not 0-3) .

Equally one digit takes up a lot less space than "garbage" and would allow  
display of both maintainer and user ratings which is clearly more  
informative.

HTH .
