Yep it's the general nature of the outlined scheme that's alarming. I'd not be at all surprised if there are sensible ways to have device vendors interact with larger purchasers of sets of those devices where such handovers can be managed safely enough. I'm less sure there are good answers for a random widget from some company I've never heard of re-badged by someone I have heard of when I'm a home user. (And in that latter situation there are a lot of open-source code and distribution systems involved which can make things harder or easier, not sure.) There may be some discussion of this topic at IETF94 including this work being done in ANIMA. Maybe at saag and maybe some other place but feel free to ping me if interested. Cheers, S.
