Neither do I if we keep assuming that notes are the only criteria for
the sort function : why not combining a possible note for each link,
the maturity of the item (eg. if its a library), and the result of a
random ?

Something like :

(let ((items (randomized-items (all-items-with-tags tags))))
  (sort items #'>
        :key #'(lambda (i)
                 (* (maturity i) ; 0,0..1,0
                    (note i)))))

... for the libraries and softwares.

Would it help moderating the effect of the notes ? Or am I missing
something obvious ? :)
