Comment (by joedolson):

 Since this ticket is about establishing a plan, I'd like to propose this
 plan:

 1) Re-open 54421.
 2) Remove all skip link focus fix scripts from all browser for WordPress
 6.3

 While a year ago, I felt it was too early, based on my findings in #38338,
 I think this is potentially now causing more harm than benefit. As
 @afercia says, any users still on IE have bigger problems than a skip to
 content link.

 If that's agreed to, let's close this ticket and move back to #54421, then
 get that milestoned.
