Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] Update AMD cpu microcode for family 15h

Hi Sherry,

Many thanks for your efforts. Are there any technical restriction(s) of why the OS bundled updates are not the latest available
version? I think we can't count much on hardware vendors to release microcode updates in the BIOS in the timely manner. I also
think especially for older families that BIOS updates won't be ever released. It is in the public interest 
to always have latest update available - and it is also in line with AMD phrase "At AMD, security is a top priority".

Please consider having the latest microcode version available for OS updates too.

I would also appreciate of having the latest microcode available for the coreboot.org project.

Many thanks
Rudolf
