We already have the minor LSMs that cannot change order. They aren't
part of security= parsing either. To enable/disable LoadPin, you do
"loadpin.enabled=1/0" separate from "security=".

Should "blob-sharing" LSMs be like major LSMs or minor LSMs?

If someone is booting with "security=selinux,tomoyo" and then SARA
lands upstream, does that person have to explicitly add "sara" to
their boot args, since they're doing a non-default list of LSMs?

(I actually prefer the answer being "yes" here, FWIW, I just want to
nail down the expectations.)
