Yep! :)
We used the controllable built-in LED to flash out the pi's IP(v4) address so our engineers can discover it and connect to it across the LAN without needing any sort of display.
We also used to have it 'speak' it's IP address out the earphones port (using espeak), but ended up turning that off when we designed the cases blocking access to non-eth/pwr ports.

You could do some interesting things with the PI's GPIO ports too... flash a LED to locate it in a rack, triggering a relay to reset a cable modem, log environmental data etc..
