Of course, if Linux ends supporting only LC that will without doubt have a big impact on vendors so in that way it is indirectly also communitys choice. /Jarkko
Jarkko, it would be good if Intel at least documented FLC and recommended a particular practice in the SGX BIOS Writer's guide, in a similar way to how the software control interface is documented.
