 Setting the BuddyPress registration page as the static front page in
 WordPress admin results in a duplicate page accessible by both of the
 following URLs:

 {{{
 example.com/
 example.com/register
 }}}

 I'm 95% sure this is unexpected behaviour.

 When, for example, the "About" page is set as the static front page -
 visiting {{{example.com/about}}} will redirect to {{{example.com}}} -
 hence avoiding duplicated content.
