To me it seems an easy way out is to offer two commands: one for positive feedback, one for negative. Then the positive one could warn if feedback is done on stable/essential packages. The negative one OTOH might warn if a package is "old". I don't want them to prevent the user from doing the feedback, but rather the goal is to increase the signal/noise ratio. The more noise we get, the less useful feedback is, after all!

Please don't understand this as a "demand", it just would feel to me that this would not could down on the user experience but would rather allow users to channel their willingness to help out into a more useful form.

And of course I realize it's you who would have to implement it, and that you might not have the time, or might not even like the idea, I am just suggesting it :-)
This seemed a very reasonable suggestion, so I've implemented it. There's a version in cvs now that has separate positive and negative feedback commands in the Tools menu and the toolbar, if anyone wants to try it out.

I haven't had a chance to test the warning for negative feedback yet, because all of my packages are up to date. :)

Cool. Thanks Steven! Much appreciated :-)
