** Description changed:

  After discussion between Intel and Canonical’s security teams, we are in
  agreement that Spectre no longer needs to be mitigated for the GPU at
  the Compute Runtime level. At this point, Spectre has been mitigated in
  the kernel, and a clear warning from the Compute Runtime build serves as
  a notification for those running modified kernels without those patches.
  For these reasons, we feel that Spectre mitigations in Compute Runtime
  no longer offer enough security impact to justify the current
  performance tradeoff.
  
- Intel themselves have disabled this flag in their builds available on
+ Intel themselves have enabled this flag in their builds available on
  their Github release page upstream.
