I'll add it to my todo list.

Since my TPM 2.0 test environment is a VM with a tpm that has a network
connection to an emulator on my host, it's impossible to set it up so
that it's built in (because you need the network config before you init
the TPM) so I might accelerate if I suddenly need to debug IMA issues
in this configuration.
