Comment:

 In [changeset:"37425"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37425"
 Widgets: Make `WP_Widget` a real abstract class.

 This removes the `die()` call from `WP_Widget::widget()` and converts it
 to an abstract method.
 `WP_Widgets` (later renamed to `WP_Widget`) was introduced in [10764]
 where the minimum PHP requirement was 4.3, thus no `abstract` was
 available.

 Props johnbillion.
 Fixes #35981.
