Some minor modes have no keybindings so they can not disturb the
tutorial (recentf-mode for example). Well, at least I hope they can not.
I think this is very important!
I think it is safer to turn them all off, aside from a specific
list of exceptions.

To make the user aware of that Emacs will work differently in the
tutorial buffer than in other buffer (if the user answers Y).
I agree it is useful to do that, but I think that asking a question
will be confusing in a different way, since it will suggest that it is
reasonable to answer N. Displaying a message which ends in "Type
SPACE to proceed" is a better way to make sure the user notices the
message.
