 The Hello Dolly plugin has been bundled in WordPress for many years, being
 a simple example of how to build a plugin for WordPress while also adding
 a bit of whimsy to admin. However, there are several passages of text from
 this song which are inappropriate to display without any context to people
 using WordPress—particularly as the WordPress project seeks to promote
 inclusivity for all.

 For example, the following lines of text should never be shown in the
 admin unexpectedly:

 > Find her an empty lap, fellas
 > Find her a vacant knee, fellas

 While much discussion has been had over whether 'Hello Dolly' should, in
 fact, still be bundled in WordPress by default (see #11538, #15769), I'm
 proposing that we simply ensure that these lines in particular are not
 shown.
