Comment:

 This might be a breaking change for some plugins. I've run into an issue
 with bbpress which is setup the way there is a `[bbp-topic-index]`
 shortcode used on a page which is set as a static homepage for a blog.

 Under such setup, the pagination of the topics is broken, as the `/page/2`
 is being redirected back to `/` (means the r59091 works as expected).


 Reproduction steps:

 1. install the bbpress plugin
 1. have a page with `[bbp-topic-index]`
 1. set is a static homepage
 1. create at least 2 bbpress topics
 1. set the number of topics in the bbpress's setting screen in `Topics and
 Replies Per Page` to `1`
 1. check that the homepage shows the list of topics
 1. try to go to 2nd page of the listing

 My understanding is that bbpress is using the
 [https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bbpress.php#L269
 `paged` query] var in the
 [https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bbpress.php#L969
 rewrite rules it's creating].

 It worked well until the r59091 landed, which changed the `page` check to
 `paged` for front pages.
