Category homepage as default?

Can you elaborate?

I am about to use the strategy mentioned here which is to set the default homepage to Categories (I assume by re-ordering that list, which is a little confusing), but then setting the Logo to link to Latest. This enables new users to encounter the Categories, but generally to after that be encountering latest.

If this is to be removed, can you explain how we could address the given concerns? Or link to discussion about this.

thanks!
