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:

  Scoial profile and Social Profiles

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I see two choices for social profile which could be confusing to
  users. I like the new social profile feature but I don't quite see
  what the functional difference is.
