Description

In finalizing the 6.8 announcement post it was identified that some of the copy in the 6.8 About page needed to be removed.

Specifically, in the "A release polished to a high sheen." section at the top of the About page we need to change from:

Speculative loading speeds up navigation by preloading links before users navigate to them, while bcrypt hashing strengthens password security automatically.

Behind the scenes, database optimizations improve performance, and a new security warning system helps prevent vulnerabilities before they become a problem.

to:

Speculative loading speeds up navigation by preloading links before users navigate to them, bcrypt hashing strengthens password security automatically, and database optimizations improve performance.

In finalizing the 6.8 announcement post (https://wordpress.org/news/2025/04/cecil/) it was identified that some of the copy on the 6.8 about page is not an accurate description of what is in 6.8. This copy is receiving a game misconduct penalty and automatic ejection. While the coach could bring on a substitute, a line change is the better option here.
