Oh, absolutely. This is one of the design goals for the project. 

One of the biggest problems we have testing Fedora is that we don't have
anywhere *close* to the variety of hardware that our users do. And I
know there's hundreds of people like you (myself included!) that have
lots of spare hardware but not much spare time.

So: if we can find an easy way for you guys to run tests, it's like we
suddenly have the Biggest Test Lab Ever. We finally get to run our tests
on all of the weird and interesting hardware combinations you guys have.
It would be a huge boost to Fedora.

Getting everyone's help in inspecting the automated results from that
testing is also really important, but it's getting access to a better
cross-section of hardware that really has me excited.
