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
