The most beautiful SP 2002 page which was universally admired so many years ago may well look paltry next to the pages of today, with their embedded maps, videos, and overall higher descriptive standard (some may call this hand-holding but that cat is out of the bag).
For content creators maybe it's an incentive to keep you from resting on your laurels...gotta keep with it!
I won't say the voting system is perfect, but I think some kind of "degrade" process does make sense.

You can compare the data for these two lovely images. Both have 5 votes and both have a score of about 87. The first is from 2007 and the second from 2011.
