 I noticed that if you have a published page set to a `Front Page Section X
 Content` and that page is then set to `private`, `draft`, `pending`, or
 `trash` at some point in the future, the content still appears on the
 homepage. And if the page is deleted permanently, an error is shown and
 the content of the "Homepage" is shown again.

 When going back into the Customizer > Theme Options, pages that do not
 have the status `publish` no longer show up in the select box. This makes
 it unclear to the user what has happened.

 Choosing `— Select —` and publishing the Customizer changes removes the
 page(s), but I think that's a suboptimal experience.

 It's easy enough to check the `post_status` of the page before displaying
 the panel, but some thought will need to go into how to handle that
 situation in the Customizer.
