Comment (by imath):

 Thanks a lot for your feedback @johnjamesjacoby

 To add more context to this ticket: we have a modal window since 3.0.0,
 here's how it currently looks:

 My concern is about its appearance, imho it's improvable and I believe we
 should at least make it look closer to how WordPress uses modal for
 plugins. That's why I suggest to use the one you get when you click on the
 `View details` link displayed for each plugin into the Plugins
 Administration screen.

 I'm not a huge fan of modals, but a part of the team put some energy in
 building the feature so I thought it was important to keep at least the
 spirit of it 🤗

 I think the long term goal DJPaul shared in #7741 is interesting. We could
 use this modal to improve the new user experience or the user looking for
 help. I've started by adding the [https://codex.buddypress.org
 /participate-and-contribute/ Get Involved] page in it, because I believe
 if 1 or 2 users can contribute to BuddyPress thanks to it: it worths the
 small extra time 🙌

 That being said, i'm totally open to better ways to inform the user about
 new features, could you develop what you have in mind when you say:
 > Updates work best when new features can be exposed organically and
 naturally.
