I've never seen such a confusing "resolution" of a bug report.
lm-sensors don't show this information and they have no way of getting it
since, according to my interpretation of your words, it involves querying MSR
registers which are not available to userspace applications unless you load MSR
kernel modules.
So, are you basically saying "We don't want to export this information, let
lm-sensors guy implement this feature?".
If so, please, reassign this feature request instead of closing it. Your
attitude is kinda insulting - Windows users have been able to fetch and see
this information using various utilities for three years already and instead of
offering ways of implementing it you say "it's none of my business, let's close
it".
I feel like it's somewhat unprofessional and surely insulting.
