Comment (by mikeperry):

 FWIW, this seems OK to gather in aggregate, but I am a bit nervous about
 exposing specific platform details in individual extra-info since that
 will aid in targeted attacks. For example, ASLR is significantly weaker on
 32 bit systems. Similarly, the attacker will know that things like ASAN
 could not have been used to build the Tor binary on a 32 bit system (and
 so has much less risk of an 0day being captured by a 32 bit relay
 operator).
