Comment (by aristath):

 Just a note on this one:

 A lot of plugins and themes use 3rd-party scripts to modify the default
 behaviour of colorpickers and add an alpha channel to them. The most
 widely used script to accomplish that is https://github.com/kallookoo/wp-
 color-picker-alpha
 The changes in this ticket are great, the only downside is that most 3rd-
 party scripts will now fail because of the html changes in the
 colorpickers. Ideally rgba would be possible without using any hacky
 scripts (see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39681) but for the
 time being Plugin & Theme authors should be very careful and release
 updates before WP 4.9 is released.
 Some support tickets will be inevitable though until everyone is up to
 speed and everything gets updated.
