Is there an embargo? Is it a silly play on the James Bond reference that Spectre represented? Either way pretty funny since you can't know for sure after this fiasco.

Botched micro code updates, Intel engineers arguing with each other on the linux kernel mailing list, etc. Intel's best and brightest have had 6+ months to work on proper mitigations in secret and this is the result.
