There is no "thinks". It is very rare, but it has happened and we have the bug reports in Ubuntu Debian to prove it. Chances are it will happen again someday.
So, some added delay before migrating microcode updates to older LTS branches is advised. If any regressions are reported during that added delay, a case-by-case decision is required on how to best handle it (it is possible to lock down a specific microcode to an older version, for example). Unfortunately, you cannot just "ditch" operating-system-provided microcode updates and "hope for the best" in the general case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540969 Title: package contents is outdated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1540969/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
