For more context, we see the Sling Launchpad as a 'demo' platform which allows you to quickly get your feet wet and understand how Sling works. For production usage, I would expect most people would define their own launchpad, potentially from an existing Launchpad. There's also support for dynamically removing artifacts from an existing launchpad, see [1], but I'm not sure how many use it for that exact purpose.
