Does what the title says, also updated the intro to mention that joints are the only thing left for feature parity with the extension. I know it's mentioned later on in the page, but I figure if it's going to be the default change we should make it clear at the beginning "This is the one thing remaining".
@mihe everything look ok? And are there any other changes you'd like me to make to the page while I'm doing this?
