Speaking as someone who's been the product owner of a beta feature, I know I'd find a star rating for a beta feature totally useless. Star ratings don't tell you anything about *why* a user likes or dislikes a feature, so I have no information to go off. In terms of getting feedback from comments, you're right that that's useful. But I can get that right now by going to the discussion page of the beta feature. Bear in mind that the Hovercards talk page on mediawiki.org was, for a while, the most active Flow page *across the entire cluster.* So, I'm left a little unclear what the proposed improvement actually is.
