Yes, i believe it's a great feature. I currently use ClusterSSH [1] for running
commands on multiple servers over an ssh connection. While it is great for
interactive sessions, i believe it's not elegant for running single commands. 

For example, I would definetely prefer to use Nmap for exporting a report about
file system disk space usage for all of my machines.

Go for it.
