Comment:

 This should be re-worked to use the new setting validation API. If
 `page_on_front` is set to the same as `page_for_posts` it can fail
 validation.

 Furthermore, this can be improved further to prevent the two dropdowns
 from selecting the same page to begin with. Once a selection is made in
 the first dropdown, the corresponding `option` in the second dropdown can
 be `disabled` to prevent it from even being selected. I recently
 implemented this on a Select2 replacement for the existing `dropdown-
 pages` controls: https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-object-
 selector/pull/22
