The purpose of the change being that pure end user don't have to wonder what to do with this, while power users and developers would have it just as handy.

I think that there is no harm for a pure end user if he or she clicks in Terminal. If he doesn't like or understands what it does, he or she just have to tap on the close button (big x).

Somewhat related, I do think that you guys could review the decision of not having menu items for things that already have shortcuts. I think all available options should be placed on a nice menu entry. That's the most user friendly way of presenting an interface for new and basic users. For more advanced users, there could be a help page listing the available shortcuts.
