Interesting: we may have resistors having zero excess noise in a few years time.
That said, other modes of conduction are already known: in some metals, like tungsten IIRC, the conduction is mediated by holes rather than electrons; of course, holes are just a sea of electrons drifting in the opposite direction, but the properties are somewhat different
