Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 [attachment:16379.4.patch] is the refreshed and revised patch.

 Replying to [comment:42 lessbloat]:
 > - When you initially click "Show a page instead of your latest posts",
 the second option should be checked by default:
 http://cl.ly/image/2A1e38413O47

 Fixed.

 > - In _dropdown_pages() the "selected" equals get_option( 'page_on_front'
 ).  Do we need to do some validation on this to make sure that the page
 that was previously set as get_option( 'page_on_front' ) still exists.

 We don't currently validate that in `options-reading.php`.
 `Walker_PageDropdown` can handle zero `'selected'` value.

 There's a related block in `wp_delete_post()` which deletes the option
 when deleting the page: [[BR]]

 includes/post.php#L2052

 Looking into customizer integration.
