Also agree, factory reset only means one thing.

I agree with Michael - only "type 2" should be termed as "factory reset".

"type 1" reads to me as: "Reset a device to its default settings, but keep it 
in the domain it was enrolled to".
This includes keeping the LDevID, but also other data such as the trust 
anchor(s).

Subject: [Anima] Factory reset: Do we need two types?

There was a discussion about the term factory reset, and what it means. 
Specifically, whether the LDevID (domain certificate) is deleted.

The notes I have taken (from someone's mail) indicate:
   type 1: erase all but LDevID - Device doesn’t need to re-enrol
   type 2: erase all, including LDevID

While trying to work this into the reference draft, I'm getting less and less 
comfortable with the sentiment of "two types of factory re-set".

Here my thinking:
- Factory reset brings a device back to the state it had when it left the 
factory. This is very unambiguous, and clear. The device will keep its IDevID 
and the LDevID will be deleted. (may be worth noting in the reference draft 
though, to be sure).
- A process where the LDevID remains on the device in my view of the world is 
therefore NOT a factory reset. I would call this "erase device configuration 
except the LDevID".

I therefore suggest to use / define the term "factory reset" as per first 
bullet above. And NOT define two types of factory reset. It just feels wrong to 
me.

What am I missing? Why did we even need a term for the second? Can we not just 
say "delete config, but leave LDevID"?

Michael
