 I agree it's a bit extreme to remove the default completely with the
 {{{welcome_panel}}} action, and with the big "Customize" link right there
 in the default Welcome screen, that'd be enough to get a new author into
 the Customizer and they'd discover Featured Content there.

 A few ideas:

 1. Maybe with JavaScript change out the "More Actions" links to point to
 Featured Content and Featured Images setup? We'd need to make a Codex page
 for both (or point to existing).
 2. Could we add a Welcome-style screen to another admin page, like
 themes.php? I'm not sure how difficult that would be. If Twenty Fourteen
 is the active theme, show a message above the theme grid with specific
 instructions for Twenty Fourteen? Maybe dismissable and just one or two
 links (also to the Codex).
