Attach a com port, set the date correctly, since you came to replace the battery anyway :-/

Frankly, there is a balancing act between the desire for a device to work unattended for the longest time, and security implications of running an outdated or degraded device. Now that the RTC becomes more important, equip it with better batteries :(

You can't expect everyone to do that. Some devices don't have an UART hell some even don't have the pins soldered on to them.

... and then you have consumers, who don't know what UART, serial port or whatever might be, but just want their "smart" appliance to work.
