 page templates.

 No need for a patch. A child theme (or plugin) just needs one line:
 {{{#!php
 remove_filter( 'frontpage_template',
 'twentyseventeen_front_page_template' );
 }}}

 Alternatively, you can create your own function and hook it to the
 `frontpage_template` filter to override what Twenty Seventeen is doing.
