Explain to me how this work flow would allow for the registrar to
decide whether to and/or what certificate to give to the pledge via EST based
on SBOM information. I can only venture to guess your work flow would only
allow to retrieve SBOM information after the pledge has already received a
certificate. The whole point is to not give a pledge a "you're fully trusted"
cert if it can not be fully trusted because of its SBOM.
