Intel ucode Plugin vs Package

[BrandyWine]

I have the latest 26.1.x_x version of community OPNsense installed, but I see I still have the OPNsense Intel ucode v1.1 Plugin installed, and also the ucode package "cpu-microcode-intel-20260227" and the "os-cpu-microcode-intel-1.1". Is the plugin even needed if the latest ucode is in the Intel package?

IIRC, long ago I though in some of the upgrade text it had mentioned something about the plugin being deprecated, or something like that.
