So I did explain why it is better to do microcode updates from the
initrd. And nowhere in that explanation I am "bludgeoning" people into
doing things the way I want. Which is silly, I'd never even *think* of
wanting to do that - I have enough other shit to deal with.

But I guess you're reading it the way you wanna read it so I'm going to
leave you thinking whatever you want to think.

This reads like your mail from a couple of days ago. Which leads me to
think that you haven't understood at all what I've been writing this
whole time.

So I'm going to stop wasting time with you.
