Comment (by r-a-y):

 Thanks for building the Welcome Screen as always, mercime!

 As for the headlining feature - "Modernize codebase for BP REST API".
 Since the BP REST API is in development, I don't think we should reference
 "BP REST API" in the main header.  I don't know what else to call the
 header though without seeming develop-y.

 For other features, I think the profile fields display before user
 activation on the "Users > Manage Signups" admin page is a decent enough
 feature to highlight.  See #7261.

 Also, I'm not sure what the "Provide global fields across all profiles"
 feature is.  Do you have a link to the ticket where this was implemented?

 I think we could trim down on a few of the items as well.  The `PHPMailer`
 and `bp_activity_do_heartbeat()` ones are not that big to warrant
 featuring, but that's just my opinion.
