There's an underlying assumption of 'grades matter' that may no longer be true. I think this assumption has been becoming less relevant as more people look to see what you did rather than what marks you got. i.e. I believe more people are interested in evaluating your body of work these days. I think this is a good thing since it would allow students to be more rigorous in their learnings for two reasons: 1) students are seeking true knowledge and demonstration of mastery instead of an artificial comparisons and 2) they can be more risky as they learn since the consequences of arriving at a wrong conclusion are minimal.
