"Recognisably controversial" -- that's an interesting (and helpful) choice
of words. By that metric, I think there are actually 3 areas which could
end up deterring newcomers:
1) .off-topic.*
2) .admin.*
3) .market.auction
(Not 100% sure about the third one, but it *is* controversial, and I've heard
quite a bit of anti-auction (especially anti-eBay announcements) talk lately.
I'd hate to exclude the entire .market.* tree from the homepage, though,
because of things like .shopping (for example) which probably appeal to
most people. Hmm, I wonder about the .market.jambalaya group...)
