I think that is a great idea. I have time to waste at airports soon, so can draft an email message.

Contents:
- Total system freezes on full idle
- Seemingly/definitely(?) a hardware bug
- AMD has been contacted multiple times but refuses to acknowledge the issue
- AMD first blamed PSUs
- AMD then pushed mobo manufacturers to add an undocumented BIOS option, which in its default setting does not solve the problem and with other settings doesn't always solve the problem
- Cause is still unknown
- Issue is also present in Ryzen 2xxx CPUs

Other suggestions welcome before I start writing it up!
