Comment (by boemedia):

 We discussed this ticket in today's design triage. Summarizing, we can
 conclude 3 things:

 1. Not all themes display the tagline
 2. Not everyone changes the default tagline
 3. When people don't see the tagline in their theme, they don't realise
 it's still visible in feeds (and search results as well?)

 I'm not even sure if a lot of website owners want a tagline in the first
 place, or have one at all. This could typically be a maybe later and then
 be forgotten.

 I'd suggest making this a 2-step process while installing WP, but check if
 people see these fields while they use hosting services to install WP:
 1. ask if people want a tagline on their website (+ info: what is a
 tagline, where is it displayed, examples, why have one -> maybe link to
 some blog post on .org?). If checked yes, then:
 2. open conditional field where people can fill out the tagline.
