 I think that we should rename "Static Front Page" to "Homepage Settings."

 The idea behind "Static Front Page" (and "Front Page Displays") feels
 backwards. You always have a homepage, you’re just choosing what content
 you’d like to display on it. "Homepage," I think, is a pretty well known
 and understandable concept, vs. "front page," which at this point in the
 internet is a uniquely WordPress term. It's immediately recognizable.

 I know there's some concern from the development side of things, because
 "homepage" in WordPress is a very specific thing, but I think the general
 user benefits of renaming this setting to something more familiar trumps
 minor developer confusion in this particular case.

 Note: I am just suggesting changing a label right now. Any more changes
 will be suggested in new tickets.
