Comment (by sc0ttkclark):
It appears the current resolution in place is to nix the Hello Dolly
plugin as we know it after 3.1 is built, but that being just one response
I've heard from the core team. We'll see how it goes, but guys they hear
you and they are going to be taking the next step. Great job on everyone
here who is trying to help WP out, I know you all care even if some of
your communication was borderline hostile. Let's take a breather, let them
finish the release that's a matter of weeks away and then we'll resume
discussions. I think we can find a resolution that definitely makes sense
for both sides, which most likely will be the nixxing of Hello Dolly in
place of something a bit more contextual for new users.
