I think it's a great idea.

Except that it has some issues such as locking/freezing when the
installer is requiring much of the system's resources...
I doubt that there are
any reasons for this.
Moreover anaconda has the ability to use the same info, and gets it from
a kickstart file. I think it's not too hard to implement gathering such
info during installation process.
And Ubuntu prove it. Any locking/freezing is a bugs and should be fixed.
