 Replying to [comment:6 joyously]:
 > Current sites with a made up word doesn't mean much. There are a lot of
 sites with misspellings and bad grammar and made up words. Why promote it?

 Because people recognize it. Would still like input from a copy editor,
 though.

 > Have you considered the confusion of the template hierarchy?
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#home-
 page-display home page template]
 > The hierarchy is already confusing about which template file is used:
 home.php or front-page.php or index.php
 > The front-page.php is first, and the theme has to make sure the Front
 Page setting is respected.
 > The home.php file is always used for the latest posts, whether they are
 on the front page or a static page.

 I'm not super concerned that the folks relying most on this setting being
 intuitive will also be confused by how it differs from WordPress' template
 hierarchy. The vast majority of users relying on the Customizer and on
 settings to create their websites are likely not super familiar with the
 template hierarchy.
