[wp-hackers] I don't like the new welcome screen

[Jane Wells]

The WordPress UI (of which the welcome is part) is largely designed for 
the people who use it, not for the people other people hire to do setups 
for them. Consultants who are doing setup for other people obviously 
don't need (or in most cases want) the welcome box, but they are capable 
of just turning it off. For that matter, users can also click dismiss 
the one time without a great deal of hardship.
