I agree that the idea of diverting the super user to a shortened, more concise section that let's you kick the tires of Yocto is a good idea. I have created a section based on Robert's example from his wiki page. You can see it at this link:

It's not a bad section to have, but it doesn't feel integrated into the
quickstart, especially the bit about building for Beagleboard xM. Users
looking for a truly quick start will still have to troll through pages
of introductory overview and concepts before they get to this. I still
argue that a new user should be able to build and boot qemux86 sato
using the QS guide without having to scroll down.
