   Indeed, CAcert "trust marginally" the keys it signs.

  Same here, I just fully trust keys I have exchanged by hand in a
face-to-face meeting, all the other keys are marginally trusted. But
that's better than "don't know". I think (but that's just my opinion)
that the idea behind the WoT is to be able to trust keys of people we
have not had the chance to met face-to-face. Specially in the case of
the keys of software developers.

  Best Regards
