Just my two cents: 1) We are quite aware of this, and is the reason why the TG book idea took life, as it didn't move forward much, for 2.3 I ended up dropping it (because it was actually a bit confusing to have two documentations) and refactored the whole documentation trying to make it more clear and better organized. Any patch to improve it is really well accepted, feel free to fork tg2docs#development on github and send pull requests.
2) I'm not sure this the right move for sure. In 2.3 we are already providing the minimal mode for people that want no boilerplate and it's documented on the first page of the doc. The full featured skeleton is something many people like of TG and there are actually frameworks like Rails that provide an even bigger skeleton and that never seemed an issue. I'm for adding a set of options to the quickstart command to reduce the size of the skeleton, but the default should probably be the most comprehensive one. Anyway this is something that the community has to take decision on, I don't think it's a great idea to switch the default from a full featured skeleton to minimal one without even asking, it's a huge difference in what people expect from TG.
