Would this be useful? Or over the top?
IMO we should wait until this gets beyond the "experimental" stage
before adding it. The info available didn't give much indication of what
one might use it for, so I assume it's for users (readers) of our
documentation to give a rating, saying things like "I found it useful"
or "this is out of date" or "this is confusing" or whatever.
I consider that potentially useful but more likely to be noise and quite
possibly badly misleading. In my (limited) experience such ratings are
likely to be badly skewed by the fact that people with negative
attitudes or experiences are more likely to rate something than are the
(hopefully much larger number) of happy visitors.
