Yup.   In terms of minimizing risk to the IETF, switching to .homenet is
expedient--that's why I put it in the Homenet Naming/Service Discovery
Architecture doc.   Perhaps some homenet participants aren't aware of the
issues surrounding this.
The reason we are getting so much top-down push from IETF leadership on
this is not that IETF leadership are being political--it's that there's a
real cost to the IETF if one of the GTLD people decides that we have taken
a name for which they paid an application fee.   I apologize for glossing
over this in my earlier response.

If people are interested in better understanding this problem, I encourage
you to read this:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tldr-sutld-ps-02#section-3

You can get more background by reading section 4 as well.   Bear in mind,
s/.local/.home/ in section 4.2.4.
