Yes! But let me be more specific:

For each flavor you'd probably want a set of key things (I'd suggest 
5-7) the user ought to be able to do with that flavor, and run them 
through those key things and make sure they are achieved successfully by 
most if not all of the participants. E.g., for cloud, one of those tasks 
could be, "take this docker container and deploy it. Here's the Fedora 
website, here's the container. Go." Or whatever.

So by measuring 'usability' I'm specifically saying:

- Measuring the success rate of users in the target audience for each 
flavor being able to perform the most critical / key tasks that flavor 
should enable them to do.

Another output besides the success rate is going to be a list of 
problems the users uncover, of course; hopefully there are less of them 
and they are more trivial than not.

For the best buy-in / usefulness of the test results, the WG / SIGs 
should be actively involved in determining those 5-7 key tasks to be 
assessed for usability (my hope would be they could come pretty much 
straight out of the PRD.)
