For perspective: The first time you open Firefox, it starts with a "Welcome to Firefox" page, loaded from mozilla.org [1], and the
home page
in a second tab. (In F21 and rawhide, start.fp.o pinned, along with
ads
-- currently from booking.com [2] -- and other Mozilla-slected
links.) So
unless we make _additional_ changes, it's already taking you
somewhere.
I don't like to mozilla tell me where to go.
In that case, if the firefox package winds up sticking with about:newtab then I would argue that the welcome page should also go away for the sake of consistency.
That said, since data seem to indicate that start.fp.o is useful to a number of people I am inclined to believe it is worth keeping.
I think start.fedoraproject.org is a good way to welcome people to fedora landscape. Even, it is useful to have it as a default page as a contributor, to keep an eye on announcements and planet.
