The intermediate CA could stay at the client side, and it's a suggested approach for easy certificate rotation. This new section should clarify that.

AFAIC a table only makes it too complicated to practically digest and is crammed in the wrong section (section tries to solve too many things at once).

I would rather have it here:
https://docs.mender.io/server-integration/mender-gateway/mutual-tls-authentication
as a separate chapter on gateway cert rotations.

And instead of a table a working example.
