David,
I think we got an agreement here to move CSM components in OvmfPkg.
I prefer we firstly clone the required CSM components in OvmfPkg right no.
Finally I can remove the IntelFrameworkModulePkg/IntelFrameworkPkg in one patch.
(I say "finally" because OVMF CSM dependency is not the only case that prevent
removing
the two framework packages.)
Would you like to do the clone? Or if you are busy, I can do that.
I keep asking this question, I don't believe I've seen an
answer. Apologies if I've missed it.
I think you haven't. And, I'm curious too. :)
Thanks

Is this code genuinely not going to continue to exist anywhere else in
the Intel ecosystem, any more?
No TianoCore-based images from this point forth are ever going to even
have the option of supporting CSM?
Unless some third party also chooses to fork the CSM support code and
keep it on for themselves?
In fall of 2017, Intel declared their intention to end legacy BIOS
support on their platforms by 2020.

I believe they have stuck to this story at subsequent UEFI plugfests.
