 Replying to [comment:139 karmatosed]:
 > @NateWr merging this into Twenty Seventeen just isn't on the cards from
 my understanding and discussions with @davidakennedy, this has now gone
 beyond something that any theme should just have in it. That's cool
 though, because we aren't looking for a one theme solution here, we're
 making a solution that all themes benefit from potentially.

 Would it be possible to share those discussions publicly? From a technical
 perspective, I can't think of any hurdle to bundling this with
 TwentySeventeen and later refactoring it for core inclusion.

 (For what it's worth, I feel the same way about limiting Page Sections to
 Child Pages. You seem confident that there's been some kind of consensus
 against this approach, but as far as I can tell there's been no discussion
 of the pros and cons of limiting the current selection control to Child
 Pages. Maybe it's not the answer we're looking for. But why?)
