> Doing this automatically and unconditionally during a microcode update seems undesirable. This requires the userland tooling that is coordinating the microcode update to be aware of any SGX enclaves that are running and possibly coordinate sequencing with the processes containing those enclaves. This coupling does not exist today.

Also, a microcode update may not affect SGX security at all and doing the EUPDATESVN procedure may not be required for this particular update. This case is called out specifically in the EUPDATESVN documentation.
