Yes, but it should be nice to have something like that :-) BTW, I have found 2 interesting pages: http://wiki.debian.org/Hardware http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ OTOH, there is also "Smolt" project but I really don't like how it works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smolt_(Linux) But the fact is having a HCL list will be really nice so the users can get an idea about the hardware they intend to buy.
