It seems my Z170A motherboard is the only one not getting an update?

I guess these sort of updates might be useful for people who somehow lose their CPU after the warranty period is over, or if they had the cheapest non-K i5 and wanted to switch to an i7. Otherwise a switch from Sky to Kaby is no upgrade.

Someone building an entirely new machine with Kaby would obviously be better off with the 200 series mobo.

It probably is. What is the exact model name of your motherboard? Most use the Z170A branding.
