+and [INTEL-SA-00389]
+(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00389.html).
+
+Due to too short time for rigorous testing and bad experience with botched
+microcode updates in the past, these new updates are not included. Users wanting
+to use those, can apply them in the operating system, or update the submodule
+pointer themselves.
