Even the devs were split on the issue, and that's probably why there hasn't been a decision to change the current status quo which next to nobody likes. We'd like to eventually make this all reassignable from within android's framework by the individual user at some point, just like short-cuts, but that's later down the road.

Yup, it'd be great to be able to see options for both camps down (home = top vs. home = end) the road in the official rootfs. I was using your home = end rootfs prior to rolling my own, and in the end it's mostly just picking your poison, either it's weird how you turn off the screen, or it's weird how you end calls.
It's really true that the current default setup makes nobody happy. It's supposed to be for the newbs but it just confuses them that there is no Home button by default, and even after Spare Parts they lose the key multitasking recent apps button.
Maybe you should make your home = end the default, and make the startup.txt option necessary for the current system that nobody likes.
