Comment (by iandunn):

 In [changeset:"43051" 43051]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="43051"
 Bundled Themes: Add link to privacy policy page in footer.

 If a privacy policy has been set, then a link to it will automatically be
 shown in the footer.

 The element containing the "Proudly powered by WordPress" link was chosen
 for the new policy link, in order to minimize visual conflicts with custom
 CSS that was written before the new link existed. Unfortunately, some
 minor conflicts are expected and unavoidable. Adding this link is required
 as part of GDPR compliance, and the benefits outweigh the downsides.

 To further mitigate the conflicts, a new `imprint` class was added to the
 "Proudly powered..." link, in order to facilitate targeting each link
 invididually with custom styles.

 See #43715.
