OK, this time it took me a bit longer than usual to upgrade, given the reported CPU microcode issues.

Today, I finally decided to take the leap and go ahead with the upgrade.

For what it's worth, this is the path I've taken:

 - Uninstalled os-cpu-microcode-intel plugin
 - Upgraded from 26.1.11_10 to 26.7
 - Automatic reboot
 - Upgraded from 26.7 to 26.7.3_11
 - Automatic reboot
 - Reinstalled os-cpu-microcode-intel plugin
 - Manual reboot

My unit works like a charm; all services loaded and no issues whatsoever; hardware and running features as per signature.

For the sake of completeness, the microcode plugin is currently running in late load mode.

Usual round of applause to the team and the community for yet another amazing release.
