Message:

Package update and some rewording:

Update to fetchmail-6.4.27.

Rewording about the examples in Intel microcode, they are old and
that machine now runs version 0xec (although I guess they will soon
stop providing newer updates for Skylake) and of course the kernel
versions are way out of date.
