Agreed too on not point in anonymizing.

I think this would be a very good idea, my feeling is sometimes people feel
guilty to vote less on a person who already has 3-4 votes with a given
number of points. Or viceversa.
So ideally, you would not see in penta the rating of the people until
everybody in the commitee has rated them. This does not mean you can not
see Develpoer Jane and Developer Joe already rated Developer Bernard,
you just don't see what they voted until the end.
