I think the way it works now, albeit frequently acrimonious, works reasonably well. Those that are willing to offer an opinion will do so and those reading those opinions can consider the source and decide what credibity to grant. I don't think a registry of commendations would work any better and could easily be viewed with enough skepticism as to be commonly considered valueless.
I think that is the best we'll have until someone that is generally perceived as professionally neutral (with no dog in the fight) will do comparison studies.
