Agree.

I probably won't put too much stock in whether sites get an A/B/C/F
from the FSF on its own.

However, if they do assessments that are broken down against each of
their criteria I think that would be useful.  I think there is value
in knowing whether a site has sources available for their javascript
or if it requires the use of javascript.  I just don't see why that
gets lumped in with "must promote GPL3+ (specifically) at least as
much as other licenses" - gentoo.org fails their criteria here,
because we use the apparently-now-evil GPL2+ which the FSF originally
created.
