No, you'll just have a poorer implementation.

The data field of those messages is used to convey information that
might be useful to an operator. By convention, at least, it's
intended to be a simple free-form ASCII text string with a short
English description of the problem. You can, though, place anything
there you like, and completely ignore what your peer gives you.
