I see two very valid and mostly orthogonal use cases so far.
1. Ensuring that certain core ROS functionalities comply with some
(3rd-party certified) criteria, so that people that deal with
high-cost-of-failure or safety-critical systems can trust what they are
using.
2. Ensuring that a certain piece of hardware/software is ROS-compatible, so
that people that venture into using them can expect compliance with
specified ROS interfaces (no surprises attached).
I see great value in both, but to clarify, my initial answer to this thread
was oriented mostly towards 1.
