I imagine that a newbie getting into Emacs because of things like Magit would be excited to see the splash screen or menu item for "Manage Emacs packages," but might be confused by the short list of packages. They might think: "Is that all there is? Is my Emacs broken? Is my setup incompatible with those packages?"
All other suggestions aside, I think that'd still be better than the current situation. A user who has questions is motivated to find answers. A user who doesn't know, doesn't know. :-)
