Comment (by gfindlay):

 Why on earth is there so much debate about this. It should be simple -
 keep the meaning consistent.

 What happens when you use `get_settings('home');`? You get the HOME page
 defined in the options, not the blog page with all the posts. EVERYWHERE
 in WordPress where "home" is mentioned, it points to that. So is_home
 should return true when you're on that page and no other.

 This already breaks a number of plugins for me because the plugin authors
 expect `is_home` to point to the home page, whatever it is - i.e.
 http://mysite.tld/
