With the default redhat kernel I am getting these[1] firmware updates etc. Does this elrepo supply these also? Is it as 'secure' as the el6/el7/el8 kernel?

Red Hat had#012temporarily suspended this practice while microcode stabilized. Red#012Hat is once again providing an updated Intel microcode package#012(microcode_ctl) and AMD microcode package (linux-firmware) to customers#012in order to simplify deployment processes and minimize downtime. Well#012continue to update these microcode packages as necessary.
