Yes, Intel might do that, but &quot;circumventing the circumvention&quot; is practically describing Intel making the change as some kind of malicious&#x2F;hostile actor that wants to facilitate you being the victim of a BIOS hack.  I don&#x27;t think that is what is happening, but the current architecture does have undesirable consequences.  Rotkowska&#x27;s proposal doesn&#x27;t really &quot;circumvent&quot; anything Intel is doing - it mainly allows the end user to assert a clean BIOS state.
