The flip side that being that the examples end up being out of date with the code as it changes and eventually incorrect code is floating around. We've had several times where changes to trunk on samza broke hello-samza. I'd rather commit to quality examples (and starting points for other applications) than have less than quality examples in the wild, frustrating new users.
