-It would be nice if the menu options reflected the level of certification you can make. If you are Apprentice and approve someone as Master that certification will be ignored, so why have that option?
Because your certification is visible. Even if it does not lead to promotion using the current algorithm, it still shows that you acknowledge someone to be a significant contributor, for example. Like, many people certified Dan Ingalls as Master for obvious reasons, even though they are not Masters themselves. It shows their support. For an explanation of the levels, see
http://people.squeakfoundation.org/certs.html
It's similar on a personal level like the appreciation of projects, which you also can do on the people site.

But if I as apprentice was the only one certifying Dan as anything, and I certified him as master would he be able to vote in the Squeak election? Or would he only enjoy my appreciation ;-)
Both :)
