I read that as a broader technical discussion. As has been mentioned in the thread its not compulsory, it doesn't restrict people from running custom kernels as always and you need to have the appropriate hardware to make use of the feature anyway. I personally welcome the feature. I have hardware that would allow me to use the feature and I would like to know if something other than me modifies my kernel and core environment and to restrict the ability to boot if that is the case so I can verify what has changed.
