Comment (by flixos90):
@poena @juanfra As the development leads for TT5, I would like to bring
this to your attention for consideration for WordPress 6.7. For context,
this was opened due to a limitation we ran into while creating the TT4
templates.
Basically, the way WordPress core handles the `front-page` template
doesn't work well for block themes, as it ignores the configuration for
whether the home page should display the "latest posts" or a "static front
page". So a block theme has to populate this template with one or the
other, and thus ignore the respective user choice, since we can't have a
PHP conditional like `if ( is_home() ) { /* Show blog posts. */ } else {
/* Show static page content. */ }` in a block theme template.
Therefore this ticket proposes support for (optional) granular templates
for the two scenarios (e.g. `front-page-static` and `front-page-blog`).
This is a simple change, but of course somewhat major as it introduces a
new kind of supported template. I think it's worth moving this forward, as
this could go hand in hand with a better handling of the user preference
in the TT5 theme.
Please let me know your thoughts and any questions you may have.
