What we want to do is just provide an easy-to-be-found option on install UI to select tboot package, and handle the grub entries while doing tboot package installation. We just want to follow what xen package previously did. We will look into details for how to achieve it via coordination among Anaconda/grubby/tboot package. > So yeah, installing tboot if it automatically enables itself can be a > problem on some broken hardware.

We are not seeking for making tboot a part of the default install, just want to make the tboot install/configuration easier for end users. BTW, I am trying to update the tboot feature page to include more documentations and other necessary information.
