Comment (by celloexpressions):

 Themes that aren't designed to take advantage of this shouldn't support
 it. Unless the current theme does something to present multiple sections
 in a particular way, showing multiple pages on a single page is likely to
 not look good in many themes. And it shouldn't be necessary to deconstruct
 all of the front page sections when previewing a theme that isn't designed
 for it, then switch back to a theme that intends for it to be used and re-
 add everything.

 Will a significant percentage of sites want this ''regardless'' of the
 theme? Will a significant percentages of themes ''want'' to support this?
