Very good notice, Richard!

Initially we implemented this functionality for our marketplace which we are going to use very soon for XC4 and XC5 addons. Since our vendors (developers) offer their own products (addons), it means that aggregate rating will show average rating of the addons (==developer) popularity.

So it works with e-goods and property rights (like painting and so on), but definitely doesn't work with manufactured products at all. However, we decided to add this mod available for all the customers, even it can be used for certain business only.

In further we will improve the rating behavior and will implement vendor rating itself.
