The current plans are for stable to wait for Intel's official microcode update pack. It is not like this set of microcode updates will get you anything without the kernel IBRS and IPBP support, which is still being stabilized. These updates are currently necessary for people doing the kernel work and for testing and stabilization. Ditto for AMD microcode updates, which I will upload soon now that the kernel support for loading them has made it to Linux mainline. -- Henrique Holschuh
