Erm...I disagree, and cannot imagine that such a blocking reason would be valid on very many projects. The only private information involved is the user's own private information, which the user can elect to disclose or not disclose (i.e., that the user was granted a visa for attendance at Wikimania).
It would certainly be inconsiderate, and would be a valid reason for putting the user on some form of "blacklist" for future requests for support to attend other Wikimedia-sponsored conferences.
