Comment (by deryni):

 No one changed it then either. The move to 'Home' was actually supposed to
 make this *more* obvious to people as the theory was that while machine
 names are 'magic' that must-not-be-messed-with 'Home' is something
 'normal' people will see as clearly wrong at work/elsewhere and feel
 comfortable changing. That clearly hasn't worked as well as we would have
 liked. There was a page on one of the xmpp sites at one point with a bunch
 of bullet points for things like this, this was one of them. I can't find
 that page at the moment though.
