After reading all the comments, I am going to call bullshit on the "Your civ resume will be better" rationale. The ratings system did not prevent you from writing about your expertise, leadership, and education on a resume in a way that relates your qualifications directly to the job description.
As a DoD contractor and hiring manager who sees 200+ resumes a year (and hired 51 last year), the biggest fault I see is the false belief that their one-size-fits-all resume is sufficient, and the veteran doesn't need/want to tailor it to the particular job vacancy. Sometimes this comes from spending a lot of time polishing a single resume, and upon thinking it's the "best version," not wanting to tinker with it further. That may be fine if you're applying for just one type of job (e.g. 747 mechanic), but not if you're trying to have multiple irons in the fire, as most job-seekers have to do in this job market.
There may be other, compelling reasons to end the ratings system, but better civ resumes is a hollow argument. There's no LRP preventing it today.
