The big question is at which level this auth is enforced:

- official Hue apps - who cares

- hue bridge - bad, would break apps like HuePro and would force more complicated setup for some

- bulb - unlikely, that would mean everyone buying this for IoT lighting can throw out their whole set

My Hue lights have never been connected to the Internet, so they'll never have to worry about this. I use my own Perl client: https://www.floodgap.com/software/huepl/

I might not buy another base station again, though, if this gets enforced at that level.
