Yes. absolutely. Mike McGrath, our infrastructure team super hero is 
working on a hardware profiler based on new RHEL 5 rhn-client tools (It 
used to be based on kudzu but kudzu is deprecated and it is now based on 
lshal). We are likely to include in the next release (which wont be 
called FC7 btw since we intend to merge core and extras and do multiple 
release spins as described in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Core/Schedule).

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MikeMcGrath/HardwareProfiler. This has 
several benefits. We would be able to collect very detailed information 
what stuff works and importantly what doesnt and which hardware is more 
popular so that we can prioritize that on QA etc.
