Not being a module developer, I can't comment on details but I feel that 
cpanrating  is trying to plug a need. But it might not be plugging this 
need very well.

There is a lot of good stuff on CPAN, a lot of moderate stuff and some 
crap.  THere seems to be a need whereby less knowledgeable people can 
download stuff with confidence that it is reasonably well going to do 
what it sets out to do.

Just noticed the added n in rantings :-)
