I agree with Mairin, the most folks would want to go to their own website
after the launch the browser.

The only way I could think of having start.fedoraproject.org being of any
use it to link the user to the corresponding Release Notes [1] (as an
example). This way the user would have a quick glance of what's new and
what has changed and they go on with their daily business. Another reason
for going to that page is the "CommonBugs" page which is important,
especially after an upgrade.

Unless we something like I mention above is done, my thought recently has
been to remove it or maybe just replace start.fp.o with  fedoraproject.org
