 == Test Report
 === Description
 With the patch, the warning does not appear when the site has no Privacy
 page. It also continues to warn when the site has a Privacy page and the
 Home and/or Posts page is set to the Privacy page.

 Patch tested:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/60750/60750.diff

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src (as of r61492)
 - PHP: 8.4.0
 - Server: Apache/2.4.62 (Win64) PHP/8.4.0 mod_fcgid/2.3.10-dev
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 9.1.0 / Client: mysqlnd 8.4.0)
 - Browser: Firefox 147.0
 - OS: Windows 11
 - Theme: Twenty Seventeen 4.0

 === Actual Results

 I deselected the Privacy page, as in comment:7, and chose each option in
 Reading Settings. Three of the four choices gave a warning before the
 patch, and none of them displayed the warning with the patch.

 ||= Setting =||= Before =||= With patch =||
 || Latest posts ||  🐞\\ Warning  ||  ✅\\ **No warning**  ||
 || Static Homepage set to “Home” ||  🐞\\ Warning  ||  ✅\\ **No warning**
 ||
 || Static Posts page set to “Blog” ||  🐞\\ Warning  ||  ✅\\ **No
 warning**  ||
 || Static Homepage set to “Home” and Posts page set to “Blog” ||  ✅\\ No
 warning  ||  ✅\\ No warning  ||

 After I set "Privacy Policy" as the Privacy page, the Reading Settings
 displayed a warning only when at least one of the static pages was set to
 the Privacy page (both before and after applying the patch).

 ||= Setting =||= Before =||= With patch =||
 || Latest posts ||  ✅\\ No warning  ||  ✅\\ No warning  ||
