As of last night, discovery WoT is in the works too. These may be separate- for instance, however you are using WoT now to filter spam, you may use another WoT to filter for discovery. The first step will be to display "users who follow me but I don't follow them" for managing unreciprocated follows over time. There will also be "mutual friends who don't follow x user" for assisting us in identifying "who doesn't follow x".
I will be implementing these into my own client and the first iteration won't be perfect by any stretch. But I hope it will gain traction conceptually. Clients can offer so much utility but it's no small task.
My current iteration does rely on following users as a mechanic, so while I agree with your original post, I am still stuck in the framework for now myself, and I do believe it is flawed for the same reasons.
