I know where you're coming from. We gave this a lot of thought
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43723 and
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44123 ) among other
discussion.
We may have gotten it right. Or, it may still need work. We didn't do
structured user-testing outside our group as far as I know (that could
be quite useful).

Part of the reason X doesn't kill it for good is that people might
accidentally leave the tour. But there's clearly a risk of frustration.

We did discuss removing the X at some point.
