Yes, that's exactly what Stefan Paetow recommended me on private, to add 
it as a Vendor-Specific attribute.
I did not think of this at first because I thought it *needed* to be 
"internal" to be protected from being sent by the server, but then I 
learned that it's all about of which VPS list you are putting it. So, as 
long as the attribute is included only in the "config" list, there 
should not be any problem.

It is actually meant for the whole Moonshot community, so not just me. 
But I think the Vendor Specific thing is the best way to go.

Thanks,
