'According to the Thread Group, “millions
        of existing 802.15.4 wireless devices already on the market can
        run Thread with just a software enhancement."
'

      Too bad no home automation/gadget hardware manufacturer is ever
      inclined to bother updating old hardware, rather insisting on
      (re)selling new.  This is perpetually an issue with any sort of
      home automation over the past 10 years, and just look at how bad
      security is in the industrial scada/nuke networks to see how often
      those get software updated in the name of public safety.
