With all the benefits of an enterprise SSD (EDSFF in most cases) form factor. And that's what data center folks want.

Right. I expect that CXL will initially be deployed as an internal transparent optimization for cloud providers and large data centers, with the latency and complexity (to an extent) hidden at hypervisor/orchestration layers. Some sophisticated software might have special support. Eventually we might get S3-like disaggregated memory services for cloud instances enabled by pooling (pure speculation on my part).
