I'm eyeing Threadripper for my next build but beyond that I'm going to choose a motherboard vendor based on the level of support they offer in this scenario. Some observations that I'm making:

* How promptly did they address the issue via official channels, i.e. did they leave users in the dark as they appealed to vendors in their forums (hint: most of them seem to have gone down this route) or did they share updates directly on their official sites, social media accounts, etc.

* Did they provide some estimates as to when users could expect patches?

* How much of their product catalogue were they willing to cover with security updates? Since this is a unique security issue with high impact I would have expected them to cover motherboards at least 4-5 years old.

For those in the market for an X399/TR4 motherboard, have you come to any conclusions?

MSI seems [1] to be fairly proactive right now with patches going back to several X99 motherboards. Asus for example has so far only committed to provide updates for two X99 motherboards.
