again, I am not aware of many of the implementation details of the code
behind it – also likely true for most folks reading it in the field.

Testing on an XO-1, the DX3 build 143 International, I see an item in
the Identity section saying "Lease: Not available". The wording "Not

machine does not need a lease, and is unsecured, this line of
information should not be displayed at all to the user.
