Well, if I'm not mis-remembering it was on purpose to make it more
difficult for people to declare themselves "experts". FAOD I'm not

mention further up. The two need to be carefully weighed against
one another.

Yes, it was on purpose.  However, I had my doubts at the time and
I think experience has shown that this was a mistake.

I don’t think we need to make it difficult for people to declare
themselves experts, particularly as “all” it means at the moment is,
“Can build something which is not security supported”.  People who
are building their own hypervisors are already pretty well advanced;
I think we can let them shoot themselves in the foot if they want
to.

Precisely.

Can I consider this as an Acked-by? :)
