Very nice to hear.

That says:

| processing, to code and data corruption, and system lockups.
which seems a little too generic for an RC bug, so I'm lowering
severity.
Apropos of nothing: I think it would be useful to have basic
information packaged on the presence and severity of known bugs in
various microcode versions, so that users could tell whether they need
to get a microcode update without having to learn to enable non-free.
Getting the existing non-free package working better is still very
useful without that, of course.
Thanks,
Jonathan
