Actually, I do not want to spoil your day, but dashboard module is the future. Let frontpage module die. It has served its time, we now have something FAR better. :)

Roger that. Dashboard+Views+Insert Views+Node Queue = Greatest acheivement in all of human history. Er, actually that's an exaggeration, but at the very least try the combo on 4.7 and you'll end up saying to yourself "my god, what a kick ass alternative the frontpage module, or custom coding!"
Besides, I think a frontpage is too complex and diverse of a requirement to effectively tackle with one standalone module. Better to combine lots of simple THEREFORE easy to maintain-and-evolve modules, than attempt to create a bloateriffic one-shot-5-kills module. Of course, like socialism, that's a good idea that shouldn't be taken to ridiculous extremes as observed with one ::cough:: enewsletter module.
The one thing that this combination doesn't really address is the 'choose a front page based upon criteria' which is what the front_page module should be retained to do.
