Thanks for saying that Jasper. And thanks to Ben for getting the paper to us. As demonstrated in the commit message, we hesitate to pass on more information. That remains Ben's thunder in Vegas. However we wanted to get a usable mitigation for the problem into public. Maybe Intel has solutions with less overhead. But Intel excluded us from conversation so we don't know what those solutions might be. So we follow a pattern of immediately releasing a rough solution, which we can retract if a cheaper solution becomes published.
