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 guess would be in the app.

Enforcing it at the bridge level would break so many setups, apps, custom integrations that even if they try this, they'll dial it back from the avalanche of outrage.
