Yes, we're discussing the continuum between tamper-proofed, normal hackability, and what my responders seem to want, a properly-maintained API. I think the normal run of things is just fine, I don't feel the need to demand every device connect to the network and listen on a port and implement a REST API. It would be nice, but it's not a must-have. If I need to hack a device, Google usually gets me there.
