I'm guessing that vulnerabilities tied to ongoing manufacturer control (CPUs, cars, Polish locomotives, etc.) will continue until a widespread attack turns public opinion.
And I fear that even then, lobbyists and/or intelligence agencies will neuter any response.

Plenty of interesting things to do with FPGAs, and the community is even in the early stages of developing open source FPGAs now. It was AMD with their PSP that pushed me into FPGAs and creating open source hardware, now that everything is getting locked down.
