Personally I'd prefer the feature to stay. As Jeremy said we use it for 
the Ubuntu desktop guide, and I think it allows for a pleasant entry page.

If you still think it should be dropped, can you please consider to 
deprecate if for a few years so we don't need to go back and change 
things for previous releases.

Thanks!
