No, I was talking about the problems to keep all microcodes available for all processor types that could be plugged into a given socket. To express it another way: "no BIOS changes needed as long as the processor fits electrically and mechanically into the socket". Depending on the socket, that might be a lot of different microcode updates you have to keep in ROM.
