That is a strange question because normal certifications do not include any 
statement about how much you trust the key's certifications. Two reasons for 
that come to my mind immediately:

1) Public information may create social pressure. Nobody wants "Why don't you 
trust my certifications???" discussions.

2) Why should others care about your assessment in this category?

There is no need for what you want. And AFAIK it is not possible. The closest 
feature to that are trust signatures but they carry positive trust only.

That is correct. My proposal does not affect trust.
