Installing anything as a default page into /var/www/localhost/htdocs/ is
dangerous.  If the Apache install is an upgrade, the default page could
quite easily break someone's working website.

That could be handled via some CONFIG_PROTECT foo (unless someone has a more suitable method in mind)


I haven't looked at the new page myself (yet), but I hope that

a) it's only installed if a local USE flag is enabled, and
b) that it's tasteful and contains useful "Getting Started" material

The new page is part of a whole new package itself, is a hard dependency and contains no getting started type information. As for tasteful, some of that is a matter of personal opinion (mine being that it isn't).
