 I am reluctant to add anything else at this point.  I think that we are
 already at a lenght where any more content dilutes the message.  Here are
 all suggested action links that have been left out:

     *    To the bug tracker (suggested by westi)
     *    To the forums (suggested by many, I personally don’t like the
 idea)
     *    To the media uploader/editor

 Another thing is that, already at this length, the message doesn’t look
 very attractive in the default theme.  (Although it looks fine with the
 Thematic theme in op109.net.)  And we also have to think of the
 translators, who will not be very happy with all this new text.

 A last thing:
 http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/11/05/wordpress-2-9
 -revamps-hello-world/ has some comments, generally positive, on the new
 content.  A couple of people say that this content will have to be
 modified for WPMU.  (I am not familiar with MU myself.)
