I'm not super happy with these two sentences. Bugzilla 4.0 is not a new product, compared to 3.0 (this could be true when compared to 2.16, but not 3.0). The WS is much better + the few things you listed, but I don't consider it as a new product. Also, I'm not sure why you say we are more proud of 4.0 than previous releases. Personally, I was more proud of 2.22 and 3.0 than 4.0. It sounds like a marketing strategy, but neither glob, wicked nor me like the wording here. glob suggested "is the best release ever".

Why all these useless newlines?

Don't duplicate the title.

This change should be reversed. All other branches have colons at the end.

(such as 3.6.x to 4.0) would probably be more appropriate, here.

Otherwise looks good. r=LpSolit
