I think the "Welcome" page, is aimed at people who visit the home page for the first time, before there was just a jack sparrow background
Why do you think that? Last time they force-fed a miserable redesign of the main page, it was after a momentary preview period. They don't have a great track record for learning from their mistakes; for example, the leaderboards could have been fixed ages ago.
