Is there any plan to support mounting for encrypted Virtual Machines

Hello,

Backgorund:

Currently there is following limitation on Mounting Virtual Disks:  “You cannot mount a virtual disk if any of its .vmdk files are encrypted, compressed, or have read‐only permissions. Change these attributes before mounting the virtual disk.”

As VMware doesn’t allow mounting of virtual disk for encrypted VMs hence client needs to remove encryption first to be able to scan a VM.

Query:

Does VMware plan to change this? Please share if there any enhancement planned to support mounting of encrypted VMs?
