But until the silicon vendors update _their_ forks of OpenWRT, commercially available home routers won't have these benefits. Because the home router market is dominated by packaged reference designs from one of a very small number of companies that actually make all the chipsets (Dave, I know you know this, I'm mostly just choir-preaching myself).

I was talking to one of the major chipset vendors just this last Thursday.

We have to fork-lift upgrade all of these devices, ASAP.

And change how we build/maintain these systems, and do business in embedded systems.

See my Berkman Center talk here:

We'll be struggling with the policies issues the rest of our lives (which is why I presented to the Berkman Center).

Also read Dan Geer's policy piece in Lawfare the Lawfare blog.

Bruce Schneier's piece in Wired on the IOT is also very good, but aimed at a mass audience.

I will be publishing and updated version of the talk very soon; the situation is yet more perilous since June, and my explanations clearer.

Of late, I have been taking a page from Linus Torvalds' playbook, in
realizing that "on the internet, no-one can hear you being subtle",
and BOY, am I done with that.
