You didn't really provide any examples. You mentioned ChromeOS and vaguely
referenced "other verified boot systems".

If non-general-purpose systems is the set of systems for which this
proposal is in scope, that changes the impact.  Since you generally build
custom versions for such systems, a configuration-time option to enable
this behavior is more reasonable.

In this case, or in general?

I really don't agree that it's in the spirit of noexec.
