This sentence in the kind Emily’s message is a bit worrying for me…
It sound like a promise ( or a menace) to change drastically also our profile page in future to transform it in a standard and compulsory one with the same features and appearance of the present dashboard.
Somehow I'd missed that bit of the message, or at least the potential implications of it. It does sound a bit Facebook-ish. I agree completely that it shouldn't be the first step to a uniform profile page. (And I'm not sure that I understand the "tell visitors who you are" bit; doesn't the combination of profile photo and message already do that, to the extent that you
want to do that?)
It would also be the antithesis of what many people have been asking for, which is
easier ways to customise their home page. The dashboard, being completely
un-customisable (at the moment at least) doesn't seem to be a step toward that.
I'd definitely second Marisa's request that any changes not restrict us from changing our profile page. (Or at least for those of us who have found the time to go the CSS route which I haven't yet.)
