included in discussion components. (FOR-108)

Coming Soon
**************************
We're pleased to announce these upcoming changes, which will release in the
next few weeks:
* In addition to the existing Discussion post type, course discussions will
soon include a new Question post type. Students and course teams will also be
able to filter posts to find unanswered questions easily.
* A new user experience design for course discussions is coming! The new user
interface controls will provide consistent methods for taking action on
posts. A set of colorful badges will also make it easier to identify posts.
* A new bulk publishing feature will soon be available to enhance the changes
that you see to the publishing workflow today. With bulk publishing, the
process of releasing your course content to students will be significantly
streamlined.
