Comment (by lessbloat):

 First pass at a merge in  25824.diff​:

 - Added temporary_dash_styles() & temporary-dash-styles.css as a stop-gap
 for adding styles until MP6 is in core
 - Removes wp_dashboard_primary (old wordpress.org/news/ feed widget)
 - Removes wp_dashboard_secondary (old planet.wordpress.org feed widget)
 - Removes plugin widget
 - Removes incoming links widget
 - Merged new dashboard_rss (WordPress News) widget
 - Removed "configure" options from WordPress News widget
 - Removed recent drafts widget
 - Removed quick press widget
 - Added new quick draft widget (new simplified quick press plus quick
 drafts in one)
 - Removed recent comments widget
 - Added new activity widget

 '''Remaining Todos:''' (that I know of)

 - RTL testing
 - Test Browse happy box on dashboard
 - Remove newest plugins from "WordPress News"
 - Show popular plugins in "WordPress News", unless you already have them
 installed
 - Look at weird column widths (menu bar collapsed, at 1400px)
 - New API for the Right Now box?
 - Add any deprecated functions
 - @markjaquith's code review
