I was thinking something along the same lines. The current API & UI plugin frameworks would allow for an optional plugin which can be added to any deployment post-install. It could allow for configurable reporting so that users can decide what information is acceptable to report. If we can get the infrastructure set up, it could even allow for reporting of actions in real time, such as when new hosts are added, how many instances are brought up per week, etc.
