I do see it mentioned in other responses too in this thread, and not
just mine.

And here is even a request to get it to the changelog:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/1B23E216-0229-4BDD-8B09-807256A54AF5@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I'm absolutely fine not to mention EMODPE but after re-reading the
thread, it is not like there is one voice on it. I don't really
care all that much whether it is mentioned or not but there should
be some reasonable logic behind the decision.

PS. I just noticed that my previous response did not reach lore so
I bounced it again.
