    It all sounds like another poorly conceived attempt at encouraging manufacturing in the USA by promoting paranoia and xenophobia. If the
    rules were based on some kind of common security checks and rules
    (like "no default passwords") that applied equally to all, it would
    make some sense.

    It may be a grand promotion of tiny (officially) "non routers" linux
    computers. Extreme version: Put A Few Parts Together Yourself.
