Yes. 

Perhaps something with virtual instances? 
*tester requests a base f14 
*machine is built and mails tester info. 
*tester logs into machine, applies update that they are testing, tests. 
*tester logs out and machine autoreaps away. 

I admit this is pie in the sky without a cloud infrastructure in place,
but it would be pretty cool. ;)

Yes, a fedora-easy-karma type thing. 
Also, abrt could offer to install a testing package where available
when a package crashes? 

Thanks for the excellent feedback!
