This comment does not seem accurate, given that DG1 is barely out, and
ADL is not out yet. How about:
"Disabling GuC on untested platforms"?
Just because something is not in the shops yet does not mean it is new.
Technology is always obsolete by the time it goes on sale.
That is a very good reason to not use terminology like "new", "old",
"current", "modern" etc. at all.
End users like me definitely do not share your interpretation of "old".
Yep, old and new is relative. In the end, what matters is the validation
effort, which is why I was proposing "untested platforms".
Also, remember that you are not writing these messages for Intel
engineers, but instead are writing for Linux *users*.

Thanks,

And the issue is not a lack of testing, it is a question of whether we
are allowed to change the default on something that has already started
being used by customers or not (including pre-release beta customers).
I.e. it is basically a political decision not an engineering decision.
