All installed files must be added to pkg-plist and therefore included into the package. However, platomav/CPUMicrocodes is really distinct project and its growth is not syncronized with cpupdate. More serious problem may steam from copyright issues: Intel's license allows end users to utilize published CPU microcodes but I do not know if FreeBSD project has special permission to package and redistribute Intel's microcode files. Intel's general licence does not permit redistribution and I do not want to limit redistribution of cpupdate package itself due to copyrighted blobs added to the package.
