I see what you're saying, but I don't think there's any mileage in
adding yet another ratings system. These things are exclusive animals:
the more you have, the less valuable and effective each one is.

I would hope there is simply an option to have "unrated" games that
appear in their own category, and only get disappeared if a parent
chooses to disappear them. Frankly, all application software is
"unrated", so its somewhat ridiculous to "disappear" one small
category of that (although I can think of many good business reasons
they pretty much all come down to being leant on by bigger fish or
assuaging company political issues, or even assuaging lobbyist groups,
which IMHO is a very poor reason in the absolute sense, albeit an
extremely good reason in the
making-profit-and-not-getting-too-much-lobby-and-govt-attention sense)
