EDK2's OVMFs were last updated 2011. They magically appeared on this 
subdirectory, as they're unmaintained. :-) I presume the only people who 
update these files are UEFI Forum members. The ones from the Linux 
community are circa 2013. It'd be nice if you uploaded fresh OVMFs when 
you upload new UDK2010.x.x.x.x releases.

EXCELLENT news about being able to update firmware on Minnows, thanks!
