My personal opinion on the matter is that we shouldn't be doing the launch automatically, but others are welcome to disagree. =) I think the presence of a nice, clean, question mark icon on the Home screen after boot will be plenty for those that want to jump into help right away, and instilling the Home zoom level as just what it is -- Home -- is equally important. Particularly because of the fullscreen nature of the activities (and the new launcher itself), I actually think it would be more disorienting to be driven directly into the help activity. I'm not sure the decision was finalized, as the ticket you worked from didn't make it clear one way or the other. Thanks for your hard work, either way!
