The bigger problem there is that the Theme names the front page template
"home.php" and the blog posts index template "blog.php". But on that front
page template: yes, the Theme has a "featured products" section, that
integrates Products as-defined by the Plugin. The Theme is designed to
support the Plugin, which is fine.

As long as the use of the front page template (including how the "Featured
Products" section works) is explained in the Theme's documentation, it's
fine.
