Except, of course, for Intel processor microcode updates, which are going to cause ENOENT on a large number of systems. This will generate a large number of questions by users on the distro MLs. However, IMHO this is *not* a reason to refuse this patch series. If anything, at least for Debian I will use it as an opportunity to educate people about the existence of microcode update packages in "non-free". -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
