WordPress no longer supports many old old browsers: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/04/23/target-browser-coverage/
This also removes alot of no longer necessary CSS. It served us well, but we are never getting back together with IE8,9,10.
So, in the (paraphrased) words of Taylor Swift:
I remember when we dropped support the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough, " 'cause like
We hadn't seen many users in a month
When you said you needed flexbox. (What?)
Then you postMessage again and say
"IE8, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate the box model, " we break up, you call me, "I love css-grids."
Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
We are never ever ever supporting IE 8,9,10,
You go talk to EDGE, talk to my FIREFOX, talk to CHROME
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever...

Fixes some minor HTML issues in the admin and, most notably, changes the rel
attribute used in the List Tables from `rel="permalink"` to `rel="bookmark"`.

- changes the "X" links in buttons, improves their color contrast ratio and focus style
- adds screen reader text "Remove item: + tagname"
- uses `wp.a11y.speak()` to give screen reader users feedback when adding/removing tags
- makes the `tagcloud-link` toggle a button, with an `aria-expanded` attribute to indicate the tag cloud collapsed/expanded state
- changes colors for the autocomplete highlighted option in order to have a better color contrast ratio
- reduces the font size for the autocomplete on Press This
- removes CSS related to the old `suggest.js` from Press This

Making behavior changes based on some broad definition of what mobile is rarely, if ever, makes sense. Each bit of functionality should be more clearly targeted, whether that's for screen size, performance, or some kind of touch capability.

When Open Sans was in use, the `300`, `400`, and `600` weights were loaded. `400` is the equivalent of `normal`; however, `bold` is equivalent to `700`, not `600`. With the move to system fonts, we need to be specific rather than relying on the lack of a `700` weight. Not all system fonts include a `600` weight; in those instances, they will use the `bold`/`700` weight.
The WordPress CSS Coding Standards have been updated accordingly.

Gone are the days of isolation and feelings of "meh", brought on by The Bleak Screen of Sadness. For a shiny knight has arrived to usher our plugins and themes along their arduous journey of installation, updates, and the inevitable fate of ultimate deletion.

Rejoice, for your admins will feel more native to your surrounding computing environment and likely load faster, especially when offline, as they no longer have to talk to The Google Overlord.
At the time of introduction in 3.8, there were not good system fonts common to all platforms at the time. In the years since, Windows, Android, OS X, iOS, Firefox OS, and various flavors of Linux have all gotten their own (good) system UI fonts.
There will definitely be visual bugs, mainly around alignment and spacing; these should be documented and reported on the ticket and fixed more atomically so that our current and future selves have a better understanding of what happened and why.
The style remains registered, as it is almost certainly in use by themes and plugins.

Date and time formats are now displayed in plain text and available for all
users. Also, lines up them with the "custom" date and time format fields to
help reinforce what these fields do.

These colored backgrounds can be accessed by adding the `.notice-alt` class to a notice.
There is also now a large version when using the `.notice-large` class, and a `.notice-title` class that is appropriate for headline text within a large notice.

In [26134], `#createuser` inputs were made responsive, but `#adduser` was a straggler. This assigns the proper mobile style to the add user inputs and moves the initial declaration alongside create user for future maintenance ease.

* A variant of a language has its own locale, for example the locale of the formal variant of German is `de_DE_formal`.
* Update `remove_accents()` and some CSS rules to support `de_DE_formal`.
* Add tests for `get_bloginfo( 'language' )`.
* API changes will be deployed over the next few days.
