That was what I was thinking when I said "routers and phones".

I didn't say "servers" because those have, like,
more than 2MB of nonvolatile storage & RAM,
so whinging that you need to waste 128kiB on some stupid agent,
is less defensible.

Hm, mental note: check what level of trust verification opkg in
OpenWRT actually performs.
