I think it would be useful to write up a technical article on the cache side channel attack and how it is used by meltdown and specte and their different methods of exploit.
Maybe that would shed some light on who needs to worry and why.
I'm surprised the js jit writers have escaped with so little blame for Spectre since in the end it is basically just a process reading its own address space (I'm actually surprised more of these vulnerabilities don't exist since things like proc/dev/run are ripe for abuse).
