Indeed. I've been doing some work on microcode_ctl lately, having taken
it over recently - I'm ok with the idea of splitting the microcode
itself out into another package, but that package is not hwdata.
hwdata is noarch though. Including x86 microcode data on all arches
would be
a bit crap.
Yep. Though if people (and Intel?) think it's a good idea, I can split
it out into another package for ease of updating...any word on whether
greater microcode changelog data is forthcoming? :-)
