Comment (by kraftbj):

 Replying to [comment:4 kwight]:
 > `page_for_posts` probably shouldn't be reset when switching the ''Front
 page displays'' setting, so that their last setting is maintained if the
 user again switches back to a static page on front. I'd say we have the
 correct behaviour already.

 > Devs should just check against the `show_on_front` setting when trying
 to determine if the front page is a static page or posts.

 To echo @ElectricFeet, there needs to be parity between the two ways to
 set it. Via Settings->Reading, there is no way to retain the previous
 settings while the Customizer silently retains it.
