Defaults should work. Why should I have to know about a magic option that will make my computer not crash at random? If you don't want your computer to work that badly, you should also be motivated enough to find the magic switch that will break it. Breaking people by default in mysterious and unpredictable ways is a terrible idea.

And how are we breaking them when the defaults don't change? You already have the option, today, to not include microcode updates. It's just not on by default.
