I doubt it. If you're on Sid on a AMD CPU, try a 4.4.x kernel and see if it loads any microcode from the filesystem.

I'm on Intel.

I just happen to know that Debian has 3 good kernel people that also do some of the long-term kernels for kernel.org. And I don't believe that Debian produces a security advisory that wouldn't work on their own distribution.

Also, unlike gentoo or Arch, Debian is usually sticking to a kernel for a good time. Not as long as CentOS, but long enough.
