I think I understand the correct usage myself - basically "iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis" can be used for chassis that will only include x86 cartridges and will support the "boot-node-to-enlist" mechanism. "Moonshot HP iLO Chassis Manager" supports autoenlistment of all nodes via the chassis manager without needing to boot, and also works for non-x86 Nodes.

I understand that we need to retain "iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis" for upgrades - but it seems like "Moonshot HP iLO Chassis Manager" will work in a superset of the cases that "iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis" provides, and doesn't require as much admin intervention (manual boot-to-enlist). My recommendation would be to clarify these descriptions and deprecate the x86-only mechanism but continue to support it for backwards compatibility.

This rename would have clarified things for me:
  iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis -> iLO 4 Moonshot Chassis (x86-only, deprecated)
