Comment:

 @bradyvercher following up your request for feedback on the previous
 ticket.

 I am unsure either way, there are forward compatibility concerns with this
 change so a decision from the component maintainer/lead devs is required.

 My forward compatibility concern is that if this changes after a release,
 themes may be coded in such a way they can't be adapted. This can be
 mitigated but it's not elegant code.

 My inclination is to make this change and allow themes to limit to
 `is_front_page()` if they desire. With some encouragement they do so.
