RFCs were originally formalization of what was being used in practice, home.arpa was chosen apparently for reasons of beauracratic convenience rather than what would best serve existing users, who all would prefer .lan and continue to do so since that was published in 2018

and most people dont use it because its an incredibly poor name.

It would be awesome if Ubiquity will actually follow this RFC too. The Amplifi product line from Ubiquity have `.lan` support but no `home.arpa`.

yeah I'm not going to tell my s/o to use plex.home.arpa. instead of plex.lan

That's nice and all, but OpenWrt (and its use of .lan) predates this particular RFC by a rough 14 years.

I hope the gTLD application gets struck down.

Internal. is also an valid option. I moved everything there about a year ago

.internal as well I believe

But why is it that nowadays, it's enough for a vulture corporation to have enough money to be able to privatize a part of the "web" that is in common usage (in the sense of common good) since so long?

It should be logical even without thinking that the request have to be rejected.

But what if my LAN is in the garage?
