Depending on the amount of meta boxes and the layout settings under Screen Options, sortable meta boxes may not be actually sortable.
In these cases, jQuery UI sortable needs to be disabled and the user interface shouldn't use a CSS `cursor: move`.
The use of consistent and relevant cursors may be important for users who have a cognitive disability, since cursors give a visual clue as to an element's functionality. Using the move cursor for elements which cannot be moved may be confusing or counter-intuitive for users.

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

In many a strange and curious file of forgotten lore—
While I pondered, blaming Nacin, my notifications suddenly awakened,
As of someone quietly DMing;—DMing me, I can’t ignore.
“’Tis some contributor,” I muttered, “DMing me an idea or four—
Only this and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I remember, at WordCamp US, last December;
A mad proposal nearly laid me—down out cold—upon the floor.
Curious, I listened closely;—to a plan I agreed with, mostly—
A way to make our JavaScript—JavaScript which was a chore—
Maintainable, extendable, for the future, is what I saw.
Guten-ready for evermore.
Open here I switch to Slack, when, with many a patch and hack,
In there stepped Omar, a JavaScript developer hardcore;
Pronouncing all the changes fit; ready now to be commit;
“There’s nothing else for us to do,” DMing me, “It’s done!” he swore—
“No longer random guessing at which file need next be explored—
Let’s move on, we’re all aboard.”
Moved all together, grouped and managed, in folders all is packaged,
The code had all been cleaned and tidied, important parts moved to the fore,
“Though this change be useful here,” I said, “it is too large, I fear,
We couldn’t manage such a patch, we’ve done nothing like this before—
Tell me where doth go this change, change to make our codebase soar!”
Quoth Omar, “In WordPress Core.”
Props omarreis for shepherding this significant change.

For a number of years, the "Available Widgets" section has been off-limits for
keyboard users. Now it can be used also with the keyboard. This change introduces
also some improvements for assistive technologies.
- makes the widget toggles focusable and adds an `aria-expanded` attribute to indicate their state
- improves the toggles labelling to clarify context (add/edit)
- changes the controls to choose a sidebar from list items to buttons
- adds an `aria-label` attribute to the buttons to clarify their purpose
- adds an `aria-pressed` attribute to the buttons to indicate which one is selected
- improves color contrast of the selected button
- uses a `wp.a11y.speak()` message to announce to screen reader users when a widget has been added to a sidebar
- moves focus back to the toggle button when closing a widget

* Show notice in publish metabox when editing a customization draft indicating that it will be published automatically with its changeset; a link to Customizer is included.
* Include a new "Customization Draft" display post state in the post list table.
* Disconnect stubs from their changesets when they are updated with a status other than "Draft".
* Trash customization drafts when their related changeset is trashed or deleted.
* Add a `_customize_changeset_uuid` postmeta to stubs to link them with their associated changeset.
* Include `customize_changeset_uuid` as context when requesting to insert a new auto-draft.

This is an effort to provide a speed bump before heading into something potentially destructive and some education for users on better alternatives, even as we make the file editors safer to use.

* Edits to active plugins which cause PHP fatal errors will no longer auto-deactivate the plugin. Supersedes #39766.
* Introduce sandboxed PHP file edits for active themes, preventing accidental whitescreening of a user's site when introducing a fatal error.
* After writing a change to a PHP file for an active theme or plugin, perform loopback requests on the file editor admin screens and the homepage to check for fatal errors. If a fatal error is encountered, roll back the edited file and display the error to the user to fix and try again.
* Introduce a secure way to scrape PHP fatal errors from a site via `wp_start_scraping_edited_file_errors()` and `wp_finalize_scraping_edited_file_errors()`.
* Moves file modifications from `theme-editor.php` and `plugin-editor.php` to common `wp_edit_theme_plugin_file()` function.
* Refactor themes and plugin editors to submit file changes via Ajax instead of doing full page refreshes when JS is available.
* Use `get` method for theme/plugin dropdowns.
* Improve styling of plugin editors, including width of plugin/theme dropdowns.
* Improve notices API for theme/plugin editor JS component.
* Strip common base directory from plugin file list. See #24048.
* Factor out functions to list editable file types in `wp_get_theme_file_editable_extensions()` and `wp_get_plugin_file_editable_extensions()`.
* Scroll to line in editor that has linting error when attempting to save. See #41886.
* Add checkbox to dismiss lint errors to proceed with saving. See #41887.
* Only style the Update File button as disabled instead of actually disabling it for accessibility reasons.
* Ensure that value from CodeMirror is used instead of `textarea` when CodeMirror is present.
* Add "Are you sure?" check when leaving editor when there are unsaved changes.

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
