It is entirely possible to remain with an older version of the firmware which allows one to keep the old home screen.
And that's where I'm at and where I'll stay, at 4.3.8966 so I'll never get stuck with the new homescreen. I might actually go back further if I can figure out where search stopped working on all books.

As I purchase all my books through my PC only and then sideload them to my readers, I can forever avoid updating to the new homescreen. Wifi is always off for me, I don't even use the browser through my ereader (it's just too painful, I really don't see why anyone would other than a dire emergency).

So it's very possible and extremely easy to avoid it for those of us who really dislike the new homescreen.
