But the microcode is there, one way or another, right? It's in the
CPU. This is a microcode update. It fixes bugs. And, on newer systems,
they sometimes don't boot without the update.

I don't see how excluding the new, fixed version from coreboot helps anything.
Further, it means you don't have bug-fixed microcode, which seems bad.

They pretty much all do.
