The bigger problem in large organizations is that the use of domain names ending in .local is the recommendation from Microsoft for server 2000 and 2003 configurations. It's also well documented in other places.
It's unfortunate that .local was chosen for mDNS. In many cases, (mine included), we have hundreds of machines already configured with the .local domain name, plus internal Intranet servers, SQL services etc. It's going to take some major time to fix the problem, just so people can use Linux boxes with avahi installed out of the box.
