(My intuition would have been to create the ‘sgx’ group to > placate udev, but removing those lines may be even better.) Given that patching the udev rules would require grafting eudev, but more importantly, that the sgx extensions could well be used by Guix System users on the right hardware (and having enabled the kernel option for it), I've chosen the easy path which is to simply add a 'sgx' group to %base-groups.
