I agree. I'm curious, however, to know what the D&B replacement will be for these types of operations in the future.

I believe CoinsSource provided a trust index for altcoin developers at one point [0], and it looks like Bitrated has a web-of-trust-based system for bitcoin-denominated transactions [1].
