Nope, I don't.

No-one, anywhere, here is talking about "zero-risk". Of course there's no such thing in The Real World.

But, if 30+ years of vulns have taught us anything, it's that far too much stuff that looks low-risk on first, second, or even the hundredth examination, turns out to be easier to exploit that was realised in the earlier stages.

This is especially the case with these side-channel vulns, without too much in the way of thought experimentation, if you care to look at what they're actually all about.
