MIR has been approved and intel-microcode has been seeded on to the
images, thus whenever next images are build intel-microcode will be
available from the package pool with the archive overrides done, but not
yet automatically installed until after ubuntu-drivers-common change
also lands on the images.

** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)

Title:
  intel-microcode should be installed by default, when the CPU is
  GenuineIntel

Status in intel:
  New
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  intel-microcode should be installed by default on the bare-metal
  systems which are running on GenuineIntel CPUs, by the installers.

  Similarly other microcode packages for other CPUs brands should be
  considered for inclusion (e.g. amd64-microcode).

  I hope that ubuntu-drivers-common can gain ability to detect cpu
  series and/or vendors, packages that provide microcodes similarly
  declare support for cpu series and/or vendors, the microcode packages
  are shipped on the CDs in the pool directory, and installed on to the
  target machines as part of the installation.

  This should help with rapid correction of bugs and behaviour of the
  CPUs in the field.
