did that change? AFAIK, the updates don't patch the Spectre vulnerabili-
ties but rather only the performance regressions introduced by the soft-
ware mitigations that you need anyway. If that changed and there are
security relevant microcode updates that fix something on its own (i.e.
without software mitigations), please let us know.

Without giving any pointers or version numbers your request seems rather
feeble. I've updated the blobs repo few days ago to 20180807a. What is
still missing review is the submodule pointer in the master branch[1].
If that is the version you'd expect, how should I know?
