Corporate-speak -> human-speak:

- Yes, the flow/bug exists

- We don't yet know if it can be successfully exploited at scale.

- It's quite possible that other CPU designs are affected as well, we don't have concrete data though. AMD and ARM have already started looking into the issue.

- Patches will be coming from as many manufacturers and as many OS-vendors as we can convince this is serious on a short notice.

- The patches do affect performance, often significantly, but there's nothing we can do in such a short period of time. We can only hope we can come up with better solutions down the line.
