Useful for what? Because IIUC rms is keen that the startup screen not be
suppressible on a site-wide basis.
Yes. The startup screen gives users information that we want them to see.
Once they have seen it, if they want not to see it again, we give
them a way to turn it off. But we don't want someone else to turn
it off in advance for them so they never see it.
