As long as we don't use that to collect sensitive information, it would be ok IMO. (Of course, a preseed question could avoid it completely too) Fedora has done it and while the initial discussion came up with such concerns, they have done so without creating major troubles or loosing developers, etc. I remember this LWN article on this topic: http://lwn.net/Articles/203694/ I can't find a newer article with the final decision taken and the rationale but that would be interesting for this discussion.
