Comment (by maximejobin):

 @Clorith Allow me to disagree. A week is small and that functionality
 might simply not have been seen by many people... yet.

 We operate a maintenance service and we receive EVERYDAY questions about
 these arbitrary scores. The first one is the pagespeed score. People want
 to get 100%. They don't understand that it is not something you should
 wish.

 We removed a known security plugin from our list of suggestion list for
 that exact reason. We had a client that didn't get a perfect score because
 he didn't have 2FA... on his intranet. We had to explain that it was
 irrelevant.

 I could go on forever...

 Each time, we do not complain to Google or the concerned plugin. We simply
 try to educate our client and simply try to find as "as good" product that
 won't trigger such questions.

 To me, the question becomes: is this tool for debugging or is it to give a
 score ? The official blog post about 5.2 states "this release adds two new
 pages to help debug common configuration issues."

 As a maintenance service, we love the information it provides but we also
 ate anything that triggers useless support calls/emails.

 For these reasons, I still think removing the grading is the best move.
