Makes me think that it'd be a very good thing if someone made some
testing kits that new board buyers could load, test everything out,
including things they're not likely to use, and produce a report.

I've seen so-called benchmarking programs for Windows, but they're
generally just megs/sec bragging sort of things.  Not a test that checks
that bits going through a port come out unscathed under certain
conditions, etc.
