ignoring for a second the question of information leakage which is apparently intentional in this case; an icmp message is unlikley to hash onto the same path that the offending/failed flow would have been on in many networks. While I can think perhaps more illustrative examples of uses for a free form txt field (DMARC for example). the notion that freeform txt messages with no source authetication should end up in a ticketing system in an actionable fashion seems extrodinarily unlikely.
