Well I realize that. ;-)
I am just wondering if multi-homed devices will use one interface but
multi-home their sites at home. So I’m wondering if host multi-homing versus
site multi-homing will be more popular.

But each device COULD be attached to one of these many layer-2 media. I am not
sure there is much value to multi-home the hosts versus just having multiple
links that are connected together with router(s).

You don’t have pleasant neighbors. ;-)

You are preaching to a 20-year routing bigot. Every time people go with
extended L2 networks, they realize they make a mistake, time goes on, and then
they do it again. Now in mid-2010s, VXLAN is the mistake, or I should say
L2-overlays.
Now I have to convince Peter that L2TP is the same mistake in DT data centers.
But I know what the answer is, “we have to support what the user wants”. But
you can make people think they are local using L3 overlays. And fuckin ARP and
ND don’t have to go everywhere.
