 Replying to [comment:23 melchoyce]:

 > That sounds way, way overcomplicated. Customize posts isn't in core. We
 shouldn't rely on a feature that may or may not be merged into core to
 power another interface we'd ideally like to get in this cycle.

 I didn't intend to suggest that Customize Posts needs to be in core as a
 prerequisite. What I meant was that there is some functionality that could
 be lifted from the plugin to power twentyseventeen, or at least to maybe
 provide an example approach for how customizer can be used for configuring
 a page, even from the edit post screen.

 Is it intended that the number of panels in a page template be variable
 (new panels added, moved, and removed)? Or is it intended that the number
 be fixed according to the template? Also is it the desire for the multi-
 panel configuration to be available to any page or only the front page?
