Err, how would that work? If, say, both the forum and the static pages
plugin would have the ability to replace the frontpage, how would a flag
decide which one should?

Of course, the plugins which support this feature would have to provide
some way for the user to configure it. Currently, the static pages plugin
does that by assuming a static page named "frontpage" should replace the
frontpage. A simple checkbox would probably do it for most plugins (and
would be more intuitive).
