My radical suggestion (years ago) was that the Home view should be an
activity, like any other activity.  It should be possible to install
new home views just like any other activity bundle.

In that environment, a thousand flowers can bloom.

(Incidentally, I believe that the network view should also be an
activity.  The Journal already is an activity; it should be more
easily replaceable.)
