As for the part about novices, I think it's a good policy to keep the start of the user's guide clean and simple. Otherwise they might think that this is the way all documents appear, and that they also need the insets etc.
so you do not tell the truth ...
What are you talking about???
and by the way the old UserGuide has also ERT stuff ...
So? I only want the beginning of the document to look easy for a novice who reads it using LyX?

PS. For better/other motivations on why it's good to avoid ERT in the beginning of the document, read the other recent posts in the lyx-docs list.
I did. I only wanted to say, that is nearly unimpossible to have a document, like a thesis, book or something else without ERT.
