Comment (by karmatosed):

 @NateWr there was no lengthy discussion and @davidakennedy can potentially
 give more technical insights. there is also the potential review for .org
 theme repo to consider.

 I totally get you are for child pages, but in this ticket there has been a
 lot of discussion about that and in meetings recorded on Slack. I'd
 encourage you to observe users with child pages also, it's enlightening to
 see the issue of discoverability when using for page building like this.
 Several themes use this approach out there and all have that issue.

 I feel a tiny bit like repeating myself and that bothers me as feels
 inadequate. Unfortunately, I can't think of a different response. For now,
 maybe we have to put that approach to one side and see what we have.
 Alternatively, maybe you want to create something using child pages as a
 proof of concept, there's that option. You seem passionate about it and
 even a prototype plugin may work for you to explore that drive.

 @bradyvercher I think the single page fix should resolve the issues I
 reported, thanks.
