The change suggested in
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3591
is a not well designed: How could the missing of a table ever be taken
as a sign of compliance?

How would an application make use of the table?
What information does it provide that is not better obtained from API calls?

As the table is not defined in UEFI 2.9 and no software uses it, why
should we implement it?

Best regards
