Comment:

 If the parent theme includes front-page.php, then the child theme uses
 this template unless the child theme includes it's own front-page.php
 file.

 I don't think that the front-page.php template should be handled in a
 different way from other template files and I think changing how this
 template works would be a breaking change and cause for confusion.

 The front-page.php is used to display the static page or the blog, so this
 suggestion that was mentioned is already possible:

 >This allows a child theme to include its own front-page.php template or
 setting the front-page to a page >from the 'Reading' setting.

 Because of this I recommend closing this ticket.
