Maybe I'm going all Chicken Little here, maybe not.  But I think this
development may be the closest thing to an Internet Armageddon we are
likely to see in our lifetimes.

How does thee patch that which is Unpatchable? DDOS now includes the
death of a million ankle biters: Not just unpatchable, but massively
distributed, with a continuing profit motive and no liability for the
manufacturers, paid for and plugged in by hundreds of millions of
"regular folks" throughout the so-called Developed Nations.

So far every mitigation strategy relevant to "normal" users and use
cases that occurs to me would be worse than the original problem.
