  I tried it some weeks ago on 5.3-RC1. It's a good tool to use as a 
checklist but don't use the score to rank your systems.

  It said a default install scored 5.88 and after fixing some things I 
increase it to 8.0 but it didn't tweaked the system too much because I 
hadn't much time. I'm going to play with it again next week.
