Comment:

 We definitely can't change the ID. But I don't think we should do this at
 all. Static front page is a critical part of a site, that likely won't be
 changed frequently if ever, and is accordingly not theme-specific. Mixing
 theme-specific options with static front page could lead to user confusion
 and encourage bad separation of content vs. presentation. When it comes
 down to it, there really shouldn't be any other options in this section,
 and if others are added they should probably be added by plugins, not
 themes. It's not hard to rename this section if you are adding things
 (using $wp_customize->get_section()->title = 'New Title'), or to just add
 a new section for theme-related front page settings.
