Global symmetric keys certainly have their problems, but using public keys have their own. Namely, if I want to enroll a new device each other currently enrolled device needs to know about the public key of the new enrollee. For 2 devices, that's possibly manageable but for more I really don't want to run around my house looking for every homenet device to enroll the new one.

If we were to do that, it might be nice to have a distributed database of homenet devices such that I only had to enroll it on one of my homenet devices, and then it's distributed to the rest.

That is exactly what I tried to propose.
