It should be noted that these features aren't just available on your profile, but on any profile you visit.
Don't worry, if your not a fan of the new expanded view (based on the comments below, most of you don't like it) you can always choose the list view which is very similar to the former layout.
Below is a snippet from the official Twitter blog about the upgrade...
"Instead of a basic list, there are now actions you can perform that provide a better overall experience. For example, you can turn on SMS, unfollow, mention, block, direct message, and more."
With these new changes and updates was there any real value added to the pages? I've talked to a few people and most feel the changes don't really bring anything better to the table. Some have even said they'll start using 3rd party apps to manage follows/unfollows.
