A look at the handling of Meltdown and Spectre

So if I'm reading this right, a fair summary would be that it's a massive problem that affects damn near everybody, everything is broken at every layer, and the scope of it makes a "perfect" coordinated announcement/fix an impossible exercise in cat-herding. :D

Kidding aside, thanks for a perspective from someone in the trenches. This whole thing seems like a complex and unpleasant issue, so props to everyone dealing with it!
