My personal opinion would be that it would be better to stay clear of as
much jargon that would actually require further information / glossaries as
possible.

I maintain that the case where a person is running Ubuntu Tour for the first
time will probably be a little stressful for them and they really risk
getting information overload. Bombarding them could put them off.
