There was also some talk of trying to track the amount of test coverage the kernel is receiving. There could be some sort of mechanism set up, perhaps tied into Fedora's "smolt" system, to report successful boots of the kernel on specific hardware. There are obvious privacy issues which would have to be addressed, and the whole thing would take a certain amount of work. It is not clear that anybody feels this idea is important enough to put the requisite amount of time into.
