Most of the items in the Site Information admin page could perhaps be made as blocks so the user will have the option to move them around the page across the site without developing a new theme. Moreover, the page-specific visibility settings native to blocks can be utilized by the administrator without the need for manually coding in separate .tpl.php files. These items I am referring to are the Slogan, Mission, and optionally Footer message.

More intuitively, perhaps these things can be totally removed from the Site information admin page. Instead, the installation profile intended for beginners can have at least a place holder for these created during the installation process. For the minimal installation profile intended for advanced developers, these can be totally left out. What do you think?

The site mission is adressed in #428800: Convert mission statements to a region with blocks. The footer message gonna have its own issue once the hordes of issues I opened around this are committed. Slogan is a little tricky, that is also shown as part of the HTML title element, so that needs to pull its data from somewhere. I think we can mark this issue a duplicate and focus on #428800: Convert mission statements to a region with blocks.
