 > Whether we focus on new 5.1 features or spin it as an iteration on 5.0,
 I definitely think we should keep it small and succinct. 4. The 3.7 page
 is a good source of inspiration — that was another dev-focused release.

 Sounds great. For reference, I've attached a

 screenshot of 3.7's About page].

 > Are any of the changes in 5.1 super exciting for either new users, power
 users, or developers? If it's a bunch of helpful stuff, but nothing to
 rave about, we should focus on communicating that it's a small iterative
 release building on 5.0. (We can definitely highlight the biggest code
 improvements as well towards the bottom of the page.)

 I don't think any of it will be super exciting '''yet''': the best of Site
 Health is yet to come, as is the best of performance in the Block Editor
 (Gutenberg 4.9 and onwards). Still, for some users the current benefits in
 performance may already be felt and welcome. As for the miscellaneous dev
 improvements, I'd say certain items on that list may individually be
 exciting for given people, but that's it.
