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

.local is already reserved for mDNS.

Give Apple / mDNS .mdns and let it use THAT instead of .local which should NEVER have been taken from local use in the first place.

mDNS (which isn't just an Apple thing) has been using .local for roughly 20 years now. It's a little late to change that.
