Yes, same observation here in the Planetarium deployment. The kids think 
that the keep button means 'saving' and they get confused when I say 
that Sugar saves automatically. +1 too for removing it.

Maybe those activities that do need those exports options can move them 
into another category/subtab. TurtleArt is a good example for solving that.
