Yes, this is another reason for doing the "edu build" thing would be to 
suppress some of the
UI that is more confusing to newbies (this can be done, for the most 
part, with XML layers,
although a few things like "Import Management" provided on Java source 
nodes by the
Java module would need to be patched to make it go away.
