 Sorry if this has already been talked about, but in testing out Twenty
 Seventeen, there's 1 thing that I wish I could do with the Front Page
 theme options sections.

 For my use-case, the WordPress page gets used as a placeholder for the
 root/front of the website, and is either empty or not the predominant
 content for that page. I'd like a way to deemphasize it, remove it
 entirely, or have "Page Content" (or something) as a Section instead.

 And if `the_content` or `post_title` for the home page are empty, I think
 that section doesn't end up looking right. I also think it's /fairly/
 common amongst the heavier WordPress themes to not force the home-page
 content into the output of the home-page anywhere, so I'm creating this
 ticket in case I'm not alone in missing this experience.

 Sorry again if this is a duplicate. I had a hard time searching around
 since any combination of 'front page theme option customizer sections'
 return Brazilian's of results.
