How about "A regression test to make sure > that the OS is not broken before Jordan inflicts it on the world" ? Athough it does not actively hunt down bugs, a NFS mounted, FreeBSD-routed build should stress enough of the system to disprove many serious problems. Inflicting it on "standard idiots" to check for install problems is a human-engineering aproach you could also take? Impossible to automate, though.
