True. But, not implementing all intel CPU features "right away" would not be such a bad idea. As a security conscious OS environment, they're wise to not implement certain features until there is a proven need for them/or until there is mature understanding of the features. I for one choose Debian or OpenBSD for such needs. I don't need my firewall appliance(pf + OpenBSD) to be in a hurry to implement AVX512 for example. I'd just pick one of many bleeding edge distributions for say a laptop.
