Comment 1 Manfred Knick 2017-07-11 17:08:07 UTC 
Stabilization should follow as soon as possible;
please compare

  Bug 622906 - =sys-firmware/intel-microcode-20170511 stabilization request 

Thomas' rationale in first comment.

(In reply to Manfred Knick from comment #1)

>   Bug 622906 - =sys-firmware/intel-microcode-20170511 stabilization request 

Should have mentioned underlying

    Bug 618348 - sys-firmware/intel-microcode-20170511 version bump

as well.
Comment 3 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-07-12 22:00:05 UTC 
Now in repository, https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=9bd08f12708f4e323910f7f1be17b26bfe7bed57

Like Manfred said,

    + This release fixes the nightmare-level errata SKZ7/SKW144/SKL150/
      SKX150 (Skylake) KBL095/KBW095 (Kaby Lake) for all affected Kaby
      Lake and Skylake processors: Skylake D0/R0 were fixed since the
      previous upstream release (20170511, bug #622906).  This new
      release adds the fixes for Kaby Lake Y0/B0/H0 and
      Skylake H0 (Skylake-E/X).
    + Fix undisclosed errata in Skylake H0 (0x50654), Kaby Lake Y0
      (0x806ea), Kaby Lake H0 (0x806e9), Kaby Lake B0 (0x906e9)
