Comment:

 `maybelater` seems more appropriate to me.

 * #10158 and #18705 - There's no explanation for why these was closed;
 maybe it's in an old IRC discussion? I suspect it has more to do with
 things specific to those tickets, rather than the general terminology
 problem.
 * #16379 - This was closed because the goal was partially accomplished in
 another ticket.

 The legacy usage of "home" when we really mean "posts index" is
 [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/110349/template-hierarchy-
 confused-with-index-php-front-page-php-home-php really confusing], and I
 don't see any disagreement about that in those tickets.

 So to me, that indicates this is still a valid issue, and the only reason
 it wouldn't be `open` is the lack of activity. `wontfix` discourages folks
 from working on it, but `maybelater` allows us to make progress and
 eventually re-open with a proposed solution.

 Feel free to revert it if you feel strongly, though.
