This is about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS#Name_service, that allows registering and looking up names on a LAN. Best case, it gives a very nice UX for service discovery on the LAN (in this case: connecting to a local Gobby server), which can be super cool for teams working from a single location. Worst case, it leaks things like the hostname on the LAN. We've never made any serious attempt at supporting zeroconf and friends (although Tails Server might be a game changer), so for now let's explicitly drop these packets. The only practical problem I can think of is that it might cause is making discovery of some network printers harder. That's not worth the risk of announcing our hostname, or worse, though.
