I don't like to mozilla tell me where to go.

In that case, if the firefox package winds up sticking with
about:newtab then I would argue that the welcome page should also go
away for the sake of consistency.

That said, since data seem to indicate that start.fp.o is useful to a
number of people I am inclined to believe it is worth keeping.


I think start.fedoraproject.org is a good way to welcome people to fedora landscape. Even, it is useful to have it as a default page as a contributor, to keep an eye on announcements and planet.
