Team Build: Build Quality

Can someone tell me what the purpose of the Build Quality indicator is   It doesn't seem to trigger any extra functionality anywhere that I can see - except maybe in reports.

I'd like to be able to "automatically" publish a build when the quality get's set to "Ready for Initial Test" or "Ready for Deployment".  Is it possible to detect this change somehow and trigger some workflow to occur

    Build quality can be used by QA team to indicate the quality of the build.  After Team Build completes the build, the default quality is Unexamined.  A person with right permission can modify this.  The idea is that QA Lead will change the quality to say 'Ready for deployment' after testing etc.

    The change in Build Quality fires BuildStatusChangeEvent.  You can subscribe to this event (like other Team Foundation events) to get an automated email or call a web service.
