 As generally recommended, plugin authors should not use regular buttons
 for destructive actions, like removing something.

 However, while there are standardized classes for buttons in WordPress
 admin (`button`, `button-primary`, `button-secondary`), a similar
 standardized class is missing for the destructive link. There are several
 locations in the admin where such links are displayed, but these are all
 styled using their individual selectors. Therefore plugin authors who want
 to use this style must either use one of these selectors (that probably do
 not fit the use-case at all) or recreate the style manually. Therefore I
 propose to standardize these style rules for a specific class, for example
 something like `delete-button` or `delete-link`.
