a lot of this depends on the purpose of the mesh network.

if you are trying to maintain a mesh network to prevent the government from shutting down the Internet (i.e. the Egypt scenario) then vulnerabilities that could let someone corrupt the network are very significant.

if you are trying to maintain a mesh network to extent the network to a wider area for your (and your neighbors) benefit, then vulnerabilities like this probably don't matter
