I'm trying to fathom why .home would remain ideal for home LAN users in
light of RFC 8375, which replaces the previously advised '.home' with
'home.arpa' as the default domain name for homenets, the former being
known to often leak out to the root name servers.

Or does RFC 8378 only apply to toasters and the like (what will they
think of next)?
