My point is: Will implementation of the produced RFCs lead to home
networks in which stuff works for IPv6 differently from how it works for
IPv4? e.g., your home network would have multiple subnets (thanks to
PD), but a single IPv4 subnet?

If our work focuses only on IPv6, I get the impression that we're
heading in that direction.

If HOMENET is going to improve stuff that we already do with IPv4 (by
leveraging IPv6), then that's fine... but not what I read from this
discussion and the proposed charter.

Thoughts?
