 At string freeze, about.php contains two strings that, unfortunately, WILL
 change when WordPress 5.3 is launched. Furthermore, these strings also
 deviate from another piece of WordPress string standards.


 {{{
 _e( '“Name” adds even more robust tools for creating amazing
 designs.' );
 }}}

 And


 {{{
 printf(
 /* translators: %s: The current WordPress version number. */
 __( 'Introducing our most refined user experience with the improved Block
 Editor in WordPress %s “Name”!' ),
 $display_version
 );
 }}}

 1. These strings contains the placeholder value "Name", which most
 certainly is going to be replaced with the name of a Jazzer at time of
 launch. In order to not create additional translation dependencies at time
 of launch, these strings Could use printf() to include the Jazzer's name
 dynamically. (Obviously this calls for inclusion of corresponding
 "translators" comments.)

 2. The Jazzer's name, when made public, also needs to be translated (or
 rather transliterated) for some languages. But most language teams will
 simply copy the English name without any changes.

 3. Usually WordPress code double quotes as {{{“}}} and {{{”}}}
 It's probably best to follow the same format in these strings.
