My guess, (and nothing more) is that IBM wanted to keep tight control over
microcode/firmware during the early days of the Regatta; probably
particularly keen to have everybody's code up-to-date to avoid any problems
and subsequent bad publicity. Now that it's more established they're
happier to let customers take charge of it.
