Comment (by grantnorwood):

 +1 for updating the language of is_home() to better reflect the blog index
 page, but it seems to me that a function called is_posts_page() would make
 more sense if it returned true when the current page were *any* of the
 blog-related pages (archive, author, cat/tag, date, etc), not just the
 index page.

 Better names for the blog index page (currently is_home()) might be
 is_blog_home(), or is_posts_home(), which makes it more clear that it is
 the "home" page for the blog posts.

 Also, that would allow a new is_blog_page() function to be created to
 conditionally check if *any* of the post-related pages are currently being
 viewed, which is handy when you want to apply templates/styles to more
 than just the is_home() page.

 Please see my ticket #21620 for adding a new function which checks for any
 of the blog-related pages, regardless of the naming or implementation of
 the existing is_home() function.  I've already attached a patch that I
 hope is helpful to all.
