The Standard installation profile creates a useful "Home" menu link, but it is hard-coded. When a user wants to edit it, the following message is displayed:
This link is provided by the Standard module. The title and path cannot be edited.
This is hardly user-friendly. The only way around this is for the user to disable the Home link and create a new one instead and pointing it to <front>
.
My proposal is to create the menu link programmatically and making it editable/deletable.
