Comment:

 In [changeset:"37734"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37734"
 Accessibility: Remove the ARIA roles from the `wp.a11y.speak()` live
 regions.

 When Firefox repaints some elements, NVDA may announce "alert" even when
 there's
 no actual message dispatched to the live region. The NVDA implementation
 differs
 from other screen readers and is currently under discussion. To avoid a
 subpar
 user experience better to remove the roles since they're basically
 redundant.

 Fixes #36289.
