Found 1 issue(s) in 1 installed package(s).

The website https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/cpu-microcode-intel/ shows that an update to the package appeared the day before (2024-03-12), but the BINARY package providing THE UPDATE IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE!

Should this be the case?
Or, should I update the microcode in some other way?
