Previously, the link used absolute positioning, in order to stick it at the bottom of the page. That was done in order to create visual separation between it and the "action" links, like "Lost Your Password?"
The absolute positioning can cause conflicts in some situations, though. For example, if extra text or error notices are added above the form, then the login link would be positioned on top of other elements.
Switching to relative positioning with extra margins avoids those issues, while maintaining the visual separation between the "action" links and the privacy policy link.

Previously, when a plugin updated its suggested privacy policy text, an admin notice was shown on all screens in the Administration Panels. That was done in order to make sure that administrators were aware of it, so that they could update their policy if needed. That was a very heavy-handed and intrusive approach, though, which leads to a poor user experience, and notice fatigue.
An alternative approach is to use bubble notifications in the menu, similar to when plugins have updates that need to be installed. That still makes it obvious that something needs the administrator's attention, but is not as distracting as a notice.
The notice will still appear on the Privacy page, though, since it is relevant to that screen, and provides an explanation of why the bubble is appearing.

Personal data collection is more likely for registered users than casual visitors, and the privacy policy might have been updated since a user last logged in. Those changes could impact the collection of personal data from registered users, so it makes sense to provide a link to the policy before users log in.

The customizer and the theme installer use `visibility: hidden` on the body when
they open full-overlays screens. The FTP credentials modal needs a visibility

On narrower devices, input fields are too short to fit the number of default digits they contain. This widens the fields and also breaks each height and width attribute onto a new line for better usability, using some terrible CSS trickery. My apologies.

Often times, it can be confusing to set a custom permalink structure. One has to double-check the documentation, make
sure to correctly insert the structure tag, and hope not to break their site.
With this addition, the available structure tags are being displayed as a list of easily clickable buttons that can be
used to insert tags to the custom structure input field and to remove them again.

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...

- 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.

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.
