Comment (by alexandec):

 I've examined the Dashboard and found a number of cases where a primary
 button is not used, but could be:

 * On the Edit Post page, in the Publish box, after clicking one of the
 three Edit links, the "OK" button could be a primary button.
 * On the Edit Post page, after clicking "+ Add New Category", the "Add New
 Category" button could be a primary button.
 * On the Media Library page, the "Add New" button could be a primary
 button (right now it looks like a primary button on hover only). Adding
 media is probably the most likely single action for a user to perform on
 this page, so it makes sense to focus the user on it.
 * On the Media Library -> Add New page, the "Select Files" button could be
 primary.
 * In the single-file Browser Uploader, the "Upload" button could be
 primary.
 * On the Pages page, the "Add New" button could be a primary button.
 * On the Users page, the "Add New" button could be a primary button.
 * On Posts, Media, Pages, and Comments pages, when one or more checkboxes
 are checked next to items, the "Apply" button next to "Bulk Actions" could
 become a primary button. If a user checks boxes, it's very likely they
 will perform a bulk action next. The primary button serves as a visual cue
 showing them how to proceed.
 * On Posts, Media, Pages, and Comments pages, when the user chooses a
 dropdown option next to the "Filter" button, the "Filter" button could
 become a primary button, reminding the user they need to click the button
 to activate the filter.
