** 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 warning 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.
+ 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
  their Github release page upstream.
