But if you have it installed, and only use 'zypper up', the newer one won't get removed....
Well, Ubuntu did it correctly
intel-microcode/xenial-updates,xenial-security 3.20180108.0+really20170707ubuntu16.04.1 amd64
Well, lets say they *could* do it correctly because they have a different naming scheme, is it?
So no reverting back to older version.
Only on paper. In reality it is the old version.
Not sure how this is handled in Leap, in TW the 'dup' makes sure also downgrades take place...
Could be topic for discussion. Probably "remove from update repository" is not an option here.
TBH I do trust Marcus and the security team in that respect. If there had been a major problem with this, I think they would have taken other steps to make sure the version gets downgraded for those that got the update. Of course I might be wrong there.
Although I'm currently in the same position with BIOS update - I was too fast and installed update published in January which is now silently removed. I actually verified that I do have microcode version that was removed by Intel:
[ 2.115340] microcode: sig=0x306d4, pf=0x40, revision=0x28
...and most BIOS won't let you downgrade, is it? At least there we are in a better position with the separate MC updates...
Waiting for Dell support to answer whether I should (and can) downgrade BIOS ...
