The lightbulb in this scenario has a severe security issue, and thus allows
total control of any windows computer on the network because it's set to a
private/trusted network. Also note, the lightbulb is publicly addressable
and has a 8MHz processor incapable of firewalling itself..

Every scenario everyone has come up with is "unlikely". Home networks
with multiple LANs??? Never going to happen; people don't know how to set
them up, and there's little technical need for it.

I couldn't agree more.  We're spending so much time with new RFCs to
handle all these prefix delegation ways in order to accommodate 'power
users' who are used to chaining one NATing IPv4 router off of another one
and having it sort of work.  If we'd just put a stake in the ground and say
residences can have one router and bridge everything below that we'd be
further ahead.  I just can't see 99.999% of users being interested in
subnetting their homes and writing firewall rules so their light bulbs
can't talking to their DVRs.
