I am preparing updated packages, yes. Regardless of whether one cares about SGX, the INTEL-SA-00381 fixes are relevant and so are the several critical errata fixes and regression fixes in this update. Unfortunately, *as expected*, this microcode update causes fail-to-boot issues on some platforms. I will delay the upload to Debian unstable a couple days to try to get a better picture of the possible collateral damage. Also, currently there are no plans of a fast-track security update for this microcode update. This decision was made in agreement with the Debian security team. -- Henrique Holschuh
