And so are the microcode packages, which are absolutely required for
stable operation of at least Skylake and Broadwell right now (or your
data is toast due to TSX malfunction or one of the multiple undefined
behavior errata).  

One or two Skylake motherboards have good enough UEFI updates available,
but that's like 1% of them. This should get better in time, of course...
If people would update their firmware frequently in the first place.
