We usually wait for our CE to bring the subject up (oddly enough this is
usually a week or two after I get the notification that we are
downlevel). Scheduling the change usually takes another month (even
though the changes are 'transparent'). Occasionally the CE will bypass
the recent stuff until it burns in on the 'bleeding edge' accounts. And
all this after I review the MCL's just to be sure it's nothing that's
going to cause me grief.

Petersen, Jim
I don't want this is devolve into tangential discussions. What I am
looking for is:
1. How often does you shop apply MCL Microcode maintenance to your
processors?
2. Do you have a policy in place to support this or is it just
informal?
3. Do you have any procedure in place to limit how NEW the maintenance
is, i.e., has to be at least 4 weeks old.
This could be accomplished by just stopping weekly MCL retrieval 4
weeks prior to the agreed on date for maintenance application.
