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:

actually, i agree -- i had no input into where that content was
placed in the QS guide. :-)
in fact, i'm currently in the process of writing some OE-core
tutorial material and part of that involves showing how to build a
QEMU core-image-sato image using nothing but a checkout of oe-core.
so that's not really yocto material, it's much more basic OE-core
material.
