IMHO, yes.

if i install kernel from koji on several machines and
have a option to give karma if it works it would be in
any case a useful information for the maintainers which
is indepedent from what they desired intentionally

then kernel.x86_64 3.9.7-100.fc17 would not have been pusehd to
updates-testing a week after build today, henceif the package would
have any hint that it is a security-update on koji i would have
tested and deployed it days ago, that is why we run test environments
for production-servers running Fedora old-stable to not wait for
karma of random users which may never happen - but not for each
random build with no indication of security-fixes

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=428473
does not have any security hint in the changelog
