Comment (by emiluzelac):

 Replying to [comment:62 greenshady]:
 > The big issue with just keeping `wp_title()` is how to handle
 `is_front_page()`.  Currently, `wp_title()` does not output anything for
 the front page.  This has left it up to theme devs to add in something to
 display on the front page, which makes it tough for plugins to filter
 since there's no hook.

 obviously introduce backwards-compatibility issues.

 Please explain this for me if you could.

 Thanks!
