After a bit of back and forth with Intel support regarding the VROCISSDMOD key,
including the EOL (end of life = obsolete) of the key,
he had no idea what I was talking about.
I informed the support person that mouser.com listed the key as obsolete,
and sent him the link to it.
Intel's answer:
"Thank you for the clarification*
I have checked with*our internal resource*to make sure if any change has been done to the VROC key compatibility
and they have inform me that the*VROCISSDMOD key is still active and required for all x299 systems.
We advise you to contact Mouser* directly since this can be an issue on their website.

Best regards,

In other words, they want ME to tell mouser.com that INTEL's key is not discontinued,
even though it is an Intel part, and mouser is an Intel distributor.
I never know what to believe with Intel, but there it is.
Sorry if this is boring........................
