 Priority:  normal    |   Milestone:  2.5.2                 
Component:  General   |     Version:  2.5                   
 Severity:  normal    |    Keywords:  is_front_page, is_home
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 As per [http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#The_Front_Page
 documentation] these functions return true only at the site's first page.
 It can be shown that these functions return true for the second, third and
 subsequent pages as well (?p=2, 3, and so on)

 is_home() on the documentation is ambigious with "is this the blog view
 homepage" (i.e., uses the index.php template) and has been around since
 2.1.  In addition to its dependency with get_home_template(), there may
 already been plugins who anticipate this long-standing bug.

 is_front_page() has no dependencies, so I suggest that is_front_page() be
 corrected, moving forward.  ''There can be only one front page.''
