 Replying to [comment:10 Clorith]:
 > The bubble-format is actually in use within the Health Check plugin
 already for testing, so this is something that's been tested thoroughly
 and seems to be a good approach, it does require a bit of tinkering to add
 the bubbles to parent menu elements ("Tools"), but it's definitely doable.

 Great, lets add this as soon as it's ready. Can probably just "copy" the
 code that adds the bubbles to the other top menus.

 > If this is the primary focus, we may want to start with updating the
 ServeHappy versions within Meta. They've intentionally not been bumped up
 to 8.x yet, to avoid causing unnecessary fear within users for such a
 large jump, but with 7.x becoming EOL at the end of the year, it may be
 time to make the bump.

 Yep, the main focus here is to move the needle low enough so the minimum
 PHP version can be bumped to (at least) 7.2, ideally to 7.4 soon.

 > Adding an email flow isn't a terrible idea, but we need to be vary of
 how often, and what for, they go out for (to avoid users perceiving it as
 spammy), especially given that plugins or themes can also extend it,
 change priorities, add new checks, etc.

 > Perhaps a quarterly status, that shows a summary of
 good/recommended/critical on your site.

 Yes, quarterly sounds good, emails shouldn't be sent too often. Thinking
 emails for more urgent severe issues, like the site becoming non-
 upgradeable because it's on an old PVP version, should probably be more
 often, perhaps monthly? In any case, email frequency will be filterable
 and can be adjusted later too.
