Can we get .local or .l added for private-use applications too?

.home, .corp and .mail are on ICANN’s “high risk” list so won’t ever be gTLDs, so they are also good (short) options.

They could be gTLDs in the far future, but ICANN is likely to hold off for a good long while. Better to use something that is actually reserved, though. You never know.
