Sure. Nobody ever tell us it worked, so we don't fasttrack, which means it will wait at *least* a couple months. Now, if people tested this specific update on 0x800f12 processors (AMD EPYC processors), and someone remembers to report to me that it works well, I will do the backport. > > * New microcode updates (closes: #886382): > > sig 0x00800f12, patch id 0x08001213, 2017-12-05 > > Thanks to SuSE for distributing these ahead of AMD's official release! Especially because we got the microcode update from some other source than linux-firmware (where AMD deploys their microcode updates)... -- Henrique Holschuh
