I still thinking that forcing a refresh on a user is a bad idea. In general people do not stay more then few seconds on the front page anyway but rather move into the forums of their interest.
Also, s'pose a person leaves a browser open on the front page even with a 10 minute refresh, now lets say this user leaves for school/work and comes back 8 hours later. In that time that user's browser has caused just under 500 database queries and has download an arbitrary amount of data, uselessly causing unecessary traffic.

I do not see such a feature becoming a part of the standard distribution. However, it does not mean you cannot you cannot add it yourself, since such a feature would require just a tiny bit of JavaScript code you can easily add it by modifying the index.tmpl template.
