Another hardware backdoor?
Every time I see the word "trust", "secure", whatever, I know something is fishy!

The name ROT will probably not age well.

I could not care less whether Microsoft or Google are on board, but both Intel and Arm seem to be missing. Also curious is that although Nvidia is being mentioned here did Nvidia in fact not contribute to the specification and only AMD, Microsoft and Google are being listed on the document and its revision history.
