Robert was just pointing out to me that, in the end, the patch for this bug doesn't directly address the specific issue Dirk mentioned -- which is that the "profile info" block and the "social media" block do much the same thing.

I think we can consider this "fixed enough" for the 1.10.0 release though, because:

1. The name of the block is now "Social media", which is not as confusingly similar to "Profile information" as the old "Social Profile" name.

2. The "Social media" block actually has slightly different functionality than the "Profile information" block. It displays clickable buttons to get to all the users' social media accounts; while the Profile information block lists their profile details (not just social networks) in a different format.

3. The "Social media" block also has some extra controls that the "Profile information" block doesn't, to control formatting. This would make it non-trivial to merge the two blocks.

Kristina has spun off a separate bug to consider the specific issue of folding the "Social media" block into the "Profile information" block: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383058
