Even the disabled things may be rather advanced features, wouldn't it still impact them for them to stay to be on git/git? Those started from git/git have to learn what different things they need to do to use GGG by reading this extra piece of documentation, and then if they plan to keep using GGG, they will have to do this extra thing each and every time until the end of time (since your preference is not to teach switching to GGG/git from git/git). I have no strong opinions as I wouldn't be the one who is doing something extra every time, but I'd rather see our new contributors having to spend less time to get their work published and more time to polish their work into reviewable state.
