Heck make it part of the release process. If you want something to be included as a feature for release N+1 it needs to have material to be added to start. Even if the content is linking to tutorials and such on KDE, GNOME, systemd etc sites. Or to make a tl;dr I think start should be for making it easier for users to "start" using the OS. -- Stephen J Smoogen. "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance."
