[wp-hackers] front-page.php always overrides home.php?

[Otto]

No argument here. All this got hashed out back around 2.1, I doubt
anybody's looked at it since.

BTW, we already have $wp_query->is_posts_page. You can use that to
figure out where the main posts are. It doesn't have a function call
for it though.
