No, sorry - that'd be a bit too much delta here, meaning shiny-server would be able to serve from two loc (I do not want that) As a distribution I do not want to be doing things completely orthogonal from the way upstream does things. Not to mention that derivatives would inherit directly. Atleast this level of effort does not seem justified for just a welcome page. > I'm not sure what the right path is.

Yeah that makes sense but again, same reason as I gave above. Maybe we (me and people in CC) could ask upstream if they are willing to support something like this at their end as well.
