Upon further reflection, what I'm really interested in is a way to 
filter a flat list of everything-but-the-kitchen sink so that the 
following criteria can float the weaker titles up to the top:

* number of internet-facing machines running the software
* complexity of the underlying code
* average time for relevant dev community to fix critical bugs
* average time for bug-fixes to propagate (if at all-- I'm looking at 
you, home routers!)
* budget of the relevant dev community
