Comment (by aaroncampbell):

 [17979.10.diff] does basically what's in that screenshot.  It eliminates
 #wp_inactive_widgets in favor of .sidebar-inactive further up (so that
 inactive and orphaned sidebars can be handled with the same code).

 #wp_inactive_widgets is still used in some javascript in /wp-
 admin/js/widgets(.dev).js but I'm not sure whether we just want to replace
 with .sidebar-inactive or if we want to include .sidebar-inactive AND
 .sidebar-orphaned.
