Comment:

 What about instead putting a filter on the arguments for the
 wp_dropdown_pages call that produces the list of pages to choose from
 (line 96 in wp-admin/options-reading.php)? A developer could then use :


 ----
 function filter_my_cpt($args) {
   $args[post_type] = 'cpt-slug';[[BR]]

   //to also maintain pages: $args[post_type] = 'pages, cpt-slug'
 }[[BR]]
 add_filter('options-front-page' , filter_my_cpt');[[BR]]
 add_filter('options-posts-page' , filter_my_cpt');
 ----
