The question maybe should be whether .local will become, not is, a 
significant part of this load. If you prevent mDNS, the main 
proponent of the .local namespace, from becoming a standard, the 
number of those names will remain low. If it becomes a standard and 
implementers use that namespace more, the load will of course 
increase.
