In practice, is there really enough difference between "fully
functional" and "mostly functional" that we need another rating?
People who only care about the end result would know that anything
Silver or above will just about work.

I've seen Gold applied to software that is really "mostly functional,
requires hacks", i.e. there are some other minor problems that can't
be worked around (and Platinum for software with minor problems as
well).


Then again, if we add a few more variables, we can express the ratings
with radar charts. ;)
