@Brian Krogsgard - In the back of my mind, I've thought about that scenario as well. Just get rid of the Feeds with the exception of the one to the official WordPress dev blog. As for restructuring the dashboard, I know one thing, I only have two boxes setup on mine. Right Now and WordPress development blog feed. If you look at the proposed dashboard for Ghost, people are going goo goo gah gah over what they've seen and it's mostly pretty colors with different types of graphs. Is that the direction WordPress should head down or some other direction?

It was suggested that perhaps when you log into the back-end of WordPress, that it should automatically take you to the Write Post page. I think that's stupid but I wouldn't mind a better QuickPress box for the dashboard.
