That's fits my point very well. It's important to some, to others it is
annoying at most.

Well, being used doesn't make it something important in my view. And
people very often do and like really unimportant things ;-)
Well, don't try to get too much sense out of what I am saying, I'm just
making the point that whatever you will be saying it won't make much
more sense ;-)
Also I have to say I can't see much sense in collecting lots of awards -
they make mostly sense for projects that are not so well-known and like this
can get some attention - maybe those making the awards should fine-tune
their categories to give smaller, less known projects a better chance...

Greetings,
