In WordPress 3.2 support for IE6 was dropped, IE7 followed a few versions later. With the 4.8 release, WordPress officially ended support for Internet Explorer versions 8, 9, and 10. Yet, we still have shipped CSS for the unsupported IE versions....until now! Goodbye to ie.css and star hacks!
* Removes ie.css and `ie` style handle.
* Removes IE specific class names and any related CSS.
* Drops support for IE8 and older in `wp_customize_support_script()`.
* Updates compatibility mode for CSS minification to `ie11`.

Title attributes on abbreviations are only available to a minority of users. The
best option is to avoid unnecessary abbreviations when possible. In the other cases,
use an `<abbr>` element (which provides a hint to user agents on how to announce
and display the abbreviation) and provide an expansion in plain text on first use.
- `readme.html`: improves abbreviations and removes unnecessary `title` attributes
- options-general: removes unnecessary abbreviations and improves the remaining ones
- customizer schedule changeset date: removes unnecessary abbreviations and improves the remaining ones
- posts table date: uses a `span` element instead of an `abbr` element because this is not an abbreviation

This changeset introduces several changes around usability when recovery mode is active:
* Display a notice in the admin clarifying that the user is in recovery mode.
* Use a highlight color for the admin bar link to exit recovery mode.
* Exit recovery mode automatically when logging out.
* Include a recovery mode indicator in the title tag.

CSS generated content is rendered for speech output. When it's not meant to be announced by assistive technologies, for example with font icons, special care should be used to hide it. At the moment, the only reliable way to do this is making use of a wrapper element and set `aria-hidden="true"` on it.

Unify the theme-browsing and theme-customization experiences by introducing a comprehensive theme browser and installer directly accessible in the customizer. Replaces the customizer theme switcher with a full-screen panel for discovering/browsing and installing themes available on WordPress.org. Themes can now be installed and previewed directly in the customizer without entering the wp-admin context. Also includes an extensible framework for browsing and installing themes from other sources.
Also includes CSS auto-prefixing added via `grunt precommit:css`.

Given the new WordPress browsers support policy, the `screen-reader-text` css
class used in the admin can be updated to use modern CSS and correct syntax. See
https://github.com/wpaccessibility/a11ythemepatterns/blob/master/read-more-links/style.css
Worth noting the `clip` property is deprecated and kept for IE11 and Edge.
- uses `clip-path` for modern browsers
- keeps `clip` for old browsers and update its value to a correct syntax
- resets `clip-path` to `none` where the class is used to dynamically reveal elements
- removes an old rule that made `screen-reader-text` completely invisible in the help tabs `#screen-meta`
- standardizes the rule across CSS files

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...

The Toolbar search field, when the Toolbar is displayed on the frontend, might
inherit CSS properties from the active Theme stylesheet. For example, this
happened with Twenty Seventeen that sets `display: block;` on all the input
fields. Thus, there's the need to reset some CSS properties to avoid inheritance.

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.
