 Thanks for your feedback as always @r-a-y :D

 > 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; it's fine to mention it in the
 supporting paragraph though.  I don't know what else to call the header
 without seeming develop-y.

 I'm afraid I had my marketing hat on with the teaser for the BP REST API
 as one reason for PHP 5.3 on the road to modernizing the codebase as the
 headline ;)

 Perhaps something like "Requiring PHP 5.3 to Modernize Codebase" instead?


 > 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.
 +100

 > 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?
 Hmm, can't find it at this moment, what the ... :( Geez.
 Will delete this.

 > 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.
 The `PHPMailer` was in the Beta 1 release post and can delete the
 heartbeat.
