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.

Visible `<label>` elements benefit all users. The `placeholder` attribute should not be used as a replacement for visible labels.
Instead, it's supposed to be used only for a short hint to aid users with data entry e.g. a sample value or a brief description of the expected format.
Screen readers may not announce a `placeholder` attribute at all. Other users may suffer from the lack of a visible label and a placeholder used as replacement, for example:
- users with cognitive disabilities may have trouble remembering what the filled field does
- speech recognition users cannot see the name they can speak to set focus on the field
- low-vision users with high text-size may not be able to see the whole placeholder even when it's visible, if its value is clipped by the edge of the input

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
