Re: cpu-microcode-intel-20231114

No, it only shows the old version:

  ~ # pkg search cpu-microcode-intel
  cpu-microcode-intel-20231114   Intel CPU microcode updates
  ~ #

The latest version (20240312) is not available.

pkg search cpu-microcode-intel says the latest version is called
cpu-microcode-intel-20240312.  I don't know why these packages have dates in
their names so they don't upgrade automatically.
