Tom and I originally thought this was a useful / good idea -- we had
seen a lot of users come to the site and not know what is going on.
However, our experience suggests that this feature does not add a lot
and I think I (and Tom?) are +1 on removing it.

(And I'm a big +1 on removing rather than making configurable ... ;-) )
