Comment:

 Sharing a summary of @jjj and my discussion and investigation:

 * A static static frontpage:
     * may have a `<!--nextpage-->`.
     * may have a block or shortcode with its own pagination and query,
 which may use `'page'` (e.g. bbPress with `[bbp-topic-index]`).
     * and/or may have a combination of the above.

 * When a static frontpage has `[bbp-topic-index]` and `<!--nextpage-->`,
 it's get more complicated when the current `/page/2` does not include the
 `[bbp-topic-index]` content.

 Should [59091] be reverted ahead of 6.7 Beta 1?

 From @jjj:
 >Agree. This specific bbPress breakage weighs heavily on my decision,
 because it is a pretty common type of implementation.

 I agree. This particular issue needs a lot more thinking and discussion.

 I'll revert it shortly and reopen the PRs associated with it. cc @dd32
