The perceived quality of an application also depends on where you got it, i.e. 
which distribution (e.g. distributor specific patches, bleeding edge 
releases), and the situation you are deploying it into.

On the cited example of KMail:

- home user: might only need POP3 no IMAP issues do not effect them, might 
need local SPAM filtering

- coporate LAN user: might only need IMAP, but might not need SPAM filtering 
(done on server side)

- corporate laptop user: might need disconnected IMAP

and so on (not even talking about side effects like addressbook related things 
also probably affecting KMails rating)

So any reasonable rating effort will end up in having a table for each version 
if KMail, plotting distribution versions by feature sets.

Cheers,
Kevin
