Something recent that has happened is device control over HDMI.

Say your home theatre set up is off, you open the disc tray on your Blu-Ray which turns it on, it then signals your receiver to turn on and switch to the correct HDMI input which in turn tries to fire up your projector.

Sounds great in theory.

In my home, it's a fikken nightmare as certain devices prefer to come and go offline in a specific order so everything syncs up and it causes the audio signal to drop requiring me to switch inputs to get it to sync again.

It's not helpful.
