Barney Gale <barney.g...@gmail.com> added the comment:

So far I've been keen to keep the Path and AbstractPath APIs the same, but 
perhaps this case warrants an exception.

What if AbstractPath lacked both home() and expanduser(), and those methods 
only existed on Path? Of all the methods on Path, these two are the *least* 
useful for non-local filesystems.

We can then circle back round to this issue when the fate of expanduser() 
becomes clearer.

Does that sound any good?
