Possibly.  (To an extent I already have; it wasn't that long ago I put
a good deal of time into pounding on filesystem code in an attempt to
uncover rename bugs - though that was in MI kernel.)

What are these things that don't/can't get tested?  If my machines can
test them, I can probably help, though anything requiring post-5.*
would, at the very least, need assistance from someone else.
