Fine with me. I mostly copied the bug description here.

I wasn't able to reproduce the bug when doing a regular, manual
installation. That said, I have no objections being more vague here,
just didn't want to cause unnecessary paranoia.

We could do a compromise here:

In some situations, the installer may detect NICs twice,
...
This is caused by a udev bug (#765577) and so far has been been reported
only for automated installations. It can be corrected ...
