Yes; That is what was meant.  I think the only real barrier to making that 
useful would be the frontend tooling to let developers search through that 
subset of smolt profiles using keywords for people with the right hardware.  Its 
going to take more than adding a URL to FAS (fedora account system) for each 
tester's hardware profile, otherwise that would be a waste of time.
