Comment (by afercia):

 In [changeset:"45728" 45728]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="45728"
 Accessibility: Remove title attributes from the Meta widget.

 - removes the `Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal
 publishing platform.` title attribute
 - removes the title attribute from the abbreviations: contrary to a common
 belief, title attributes on abbreviations are only available to a minority
 of users, see https://developer.paciellogroup.com/blog/2019/03/short-note-
 the-abbreviation-appreciation-society/
 - changes the term `RSS` to `feed`, as `RSS` is a technical term not all
 users are supposed to be familiar with
 - improves the `widget_meta_poweredby` filter documentation

 See #46980, #24766.
 Fixes #46978.
