Comment (by markjaquith):

 I see two solutions:

  * make {{{is_home()}}} represent whatever is on the front page, and then
 introduce {{{is_blog_home()}}} for differentiation
  * keep {{{is_home()}}} as representing the blog view, and create
 {{{is_front_page()}}} to represent all front page situations for
 differentiation

 Second solution results in fewer issues with older themes.  First solution
 is more elegant and less verbally confusing.  I could go either way.  But
 either way, we need to pick something.  Start weighing in and lets make a
 decision.
