I have strongly mixed feelings about installing intel-microcode by default.
Of course it's good to have the latest microcode bugfixes.
What worries me is that Intel provides no release notes at all.
They didn't even put up a warning for the update that disables the TSX instruction.
Removing an instruction while processes are already running is of course highly problematic, see bug #1370352.
