updates on skylake power management issues?

Hi folks,
I've read Matthew Garrett's article on the issues with Linux power
management on mobile Skylake processors, and a few of the other sites
that refer to it ... and went and bought one anyway, thinking "They'll
fix it soon enough ... and maybe I should learn something about
Windows 10 anyway ..."
Well, I got sick of Windows (and more to the point, its horrendous
EULA) within about 3 hours. And I also realised that a 128G SSD is a
little small to dual boot comfortably.
Does anyone know where I can keep up to date with progress on fixing
the problems? I scan the LKML archives occasionally, but haven't seen
much that looks relevant.
Also, does anyone have (or know where I can find) comments on how
risky it actually is? I figure it can't be any worse than using the
machine heavily, right? If it's running flat tack, it won't throttle
back the CPU anyway? Is using my CPU to its fullest extent outside of
reasonable use? Or am I misunderstanding it?
Any comments welcome.
Thanks,
Richard
