Let me ask a more wide reaching question: Why do users (not that I said users, not developers, not fans, not designers, but actual end users) need WordPress news at all?

If you develope a site for a plumber does he need it? no. Do my parents need it? no. Do they care who created it? no.

It should be off by default, and I don't mean hidden, I mean the dashboard should be setup without any feeds so that it does nothing by default.

Discuss.
