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.
