Comment:

 Since this has been sitting for so long, I'm going to handle getting this
 in rather than prompting for a re-patch, as I usually would.

 Replying to [comment:4 alexandec]:
 > * 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.

 This is a bit noisy and too close to the Publish button, and they also
 stay on-screen.

 > * On the Edit Post page, after clicking "+ Add New Category", the "Add
 New Category" button could be a primary button.

 See above.

 > * 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).

 The "Add New" links are not buttons and shouldn't be.

 > * 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.

 Sounds good.

 > * 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.

 Per above, not buttons.

 > * 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.

 I wouldn't want to change a button's color this way, but I think there's a
 ticket about enabling/disabling/hiding things up there when nothing's
 selected that may already have some commits on it.

 > * 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.

 Also wouldn't want to shift a button's color here.
