(about.php)

Hello and welcome to WordPress Trac @dhrumil12,

This spacer was added on purpose during 5.7 release cycle.
Can you please elaborate on the reasons why we should remove it (and where exactly on the about page) ?

If it happens that this change is really necessary, it should be addressed in one of the next minor releases. But honestly, I'm not sure this is an issue. For the moment, let's keep this ticket open, though, waiting for your feedback.

Thanks

The is-large class gives an extra-large gap below the Maintenance and Security Releases section.

It wasn't enough of a problem to delay the 5.7.1 release, but I would like to reduce the spacing with the 5.7.2 update.

Ok thanks for the feedback and the screenshot @sabernhardt.
Let's just remove the is-large class then (just like we did for the upper <hr /> tag.

I'll get this in for 5.7.3 which will be a maintenance release. I've confirmed with @ryelle, who worked on the 5.7 about page, that the changes are good to go.
