It's the safe thing to do. If you source power from some other place you have to worry about not accidentally back powering something by mistake. Granted, this can be accomplished just by carefully ruling out the possibility. Some peop

Secure boot schemes can already "fix" this. If a boot image is programmed that isn't signed, the system boots to a write protected backup image. The system can also to some degree block the programming images that aren't
