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...

Valid code is important not just to formally meet the specification, but also to
ensure user agents, including assistive technologies, can accurately interpret
and parse content. When HTML elements are not used in the recommended way,
user agents may render them in unexpected ways. It can also become a problem for
compatibility with older or even future browsers, devices, or other software.

Adds translation context for "Hide Controls" strings so translators can supply shorter strings where space is constrained. Adds styles to fade-out long the "Hide Controls" label where it would run into the device preview buttons.

This is a great goal for core, and is close, but it is not in shape to be shipped for 4.7 and there is not enough time left in the development cycle to alter and polish sufficiently. There are bugs, but more than that, there are more fundamental questions around the use of existing UI, general UX, and how findable themes are (not) on the .org side.

Introduces some consistency in the usage of the button CSS classes, fixes the
focus style for accessibility and responsiveness of the buttons.
- Adds the `button` class to all primary buttons make them responsive
- Removes all `secondary-button` classes and replaces it with button when needed. `button-secondary` shouldn't be used and exists just for backward compatibility reasons
- Replaces classes inside `submit_button()` with a shorthand for some buttons, and use an empty string for the default `button` class. Passing `button` is unnecessary
- Adjusts `get_submit_button()` to remove empty items

The Customizer and Theme Installer open in full overlays that need to receive
focus. Also, keyboard navigation should be constrained within the overlays. Using
CSS `visibility` to hide all the content except the overlays, makes them the only
available and focusable content and allows browsers to handle focus natively.

Since [37221] the upload form is added to every plugin install screen via `install_plugins_upload()`. Previously the form was added through the `install_plugins_upload` (alias of `install_plugins_$tab`) action which allowed plugin authors to replace the form. This restores the previous behaviour.
* Add the form only to non-upload plugin install screens.
* Replace `install_plugins_upload()` with the `install_plugins_upload` and `install_plugins_pre_upload` actions.
* Remove `$upload_tab_class` and add a CSS class for the current tab to `.wrap`
* Adjust CSS selectors and toggle the whole container to support upload without an `upload-plugin` class.

UI controls that "do something" on a page shouldn't be links. This link behaves
like a toggle to expand the uploader panel and should be a `button` element with
an aria-expanded attribute. Also:
- improves consistency with the Plugin uploader
- keeps the themes list visible when the uploader is open
- displays a notice when JavaScript is off
- adds some `hide-if-no-js` CSS classes
- removes the `themes.router.navigate()` "upload" route: seems unnecessary and breaks history

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.
