It looks like this was stuck in moderation until now. FTR, there is a
bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1700373
and mailing list discussion
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2017-June/004140.html)
on this.
Consensus is to update. There was discussion about _how_ to do that, but
I don't think anybody objected to the principle of issuing the updates.
