There is a small country road near where I grew up with a highly visible Y intersection that never had a stop sign, because there was almost no traffic and, well it was very easy to see people coming from far away and traffic was quite slow on the bumpy road. Inexplicably, the county came along and installed a stop sign there a few decades ago. People who grew up on that road still run that stop sign to this day, more as a testament to the lack of awareness of the county authorities than anything. But it is an unnecessary annoyance as well.

That is how I feel about the takeover of the .local domain for mDNS. Why step in and take a widely used suffix that is shorter for something that will almost always be automated, instead of taking something longer to leave us alone with our .local setups. I will not forgive, I will not forget!
