Unfortunately this still leads to the problem where you must remember
to update all your code to refer to request.homeId. Things like
skin:breadCrumb, genericNav, getAncestors, etc all have to take into
consideration the new variable request.homeId. Does it work? Yes, but
it requires a little extra work on your part and a lot of custom tags
not supported by Daemon (this is what I went though with the other
project I was referring to). Personally I'd prefer a more elegant
solution if possible, but it would require modifying parts of core.
Hopefully someone from Daemon wouldn't mind jumping into this
conversation to offer their input.
