Yes, we don't buy hardware often enough to warrant taking an action like
that. But we always know that our security could do with more work, and
took it as an opportunity to do so. By which I mean we invested more
resources, but also successfully used the Spectre spectre on our management
as evidence that security needed more resources.

Which is always nice.
