RE: Modern button for good result of validation HTML5

I think the reason why people have always used them have been either to boost their own egos ("I'm a good website designer and I can prove it because LOOK - I HAS A BUTTON!") or as a requirement of a cheap website design course they are taking ("My website design course requires that my site I built as part of my course validates and my instructor wants the button on my site to save them from actually having to check my code because they are a lazy overpaid POS.").

I can comment that this has been brought up MANY times in the past on this list and no-one at w3C gives any shits if the buttons exist at all, much less if they are updated. You might as well just pat yourself on the back and move on with your life.

Not that I could comment for the validator team, but the buttons concept is ancient, almost antiquated. These buttons were never that useful as they were often misused and generally provided no value for website users themselves—what would be novel now, what would have changed?
