Comment:

 Don't think removing the title in [45228] is a good thing to do. This
 largely undermines the purpose of this ticket which is to tell the users
 why they need to wait for up to 20 seconds.

 Now we are left with an audible alert asking the users to wait (and
 another one when sizes request is complete), but it is only for people
 that use screen readers. What about the bulk of the rest of the users?
 Shouldn't we tell them what they are waiting for too?

 I agree, HTML titles may not be good in some contexts, but that doesn't
 mean they are "bad for everything, everywhere". They add pretty much the
 same functionality like the editor button tooltips for example.

 A title/tooltip on the spinner is the most subtle way to let anybody know
 what's going on and why there is a spinner there. Was actually thinking to
 move that title to the `<button>` element or the parent div so it is
 easier to trigger and more users would see it.
