You mean: thumb horizontal?

I could live with that.  But:

This is about how far you trust in another human.  This question
is a very serious one.  (Therefore we do not show the ownertrust
in the public key ring editor by default.)  The meaning of these
trust levels must never be misunderstood.

For instance, I have a friend whom I really trust in many
respects, but he is completely unexperienced in computers.
Emotionally, I would "have to" assign him a "thumb up".
However the correct assignment would be an emotion-neutral
"trust marginally".

AFAIK, there will not be.
