Comment (by hedgefield):

 Lots of activity on this ticket, I like it! Thanks for chiming in all,
 some good improvements being made here on the stuff @Clorith and I set up.
 I had hoped to have received more feedback like this during the weeks we
 were working on this design and discussing it in the design meetings, but
 I'll take it.

 I am noticing a few things I want to address:

 - Great point on adding the introductory copy for each page, I did see it
 when we started the design phase but spaced on including it in the
 mockups. I would indeed just present it as plain body text instead of
 styling it as an admin notice.

 - We discussed the colors a few times, perhaps we should tone them down to
 colors that have less inherit urgency meaning. I'll play around with those
 before the next design meeting.

 - I see the background color changed into grey somewhere along the past
 week. I can't find that decision mentioned anywhere in this ticket or on
 the repo, but I heard this was due to standardizing the CSS with the
 styles in core? I'm all for that technical efficiency, but in this case,
 I'd like to apply a little more critical thinking. Yes, it may technically
 be the background color for Gutenberg, but no user would ever see it as
 that. All you see in the post editor is white, except for the little bit
 of background of the sidebar. I'd therefore like to argue for making the
 background white again. It gives a much fresher and calmer look than the
 harsh grey, and with white it can truly feel like a Gutenberg-alike,
 instead of a hybrid between the two styles. Plus, this design has been
 discussed by the design team several times, and the white background was
 never mentioned as an issue, in fact it was welcomed, so I'd advise we
 stick with that design. I'm happy to discuss this more, but this decision
 I'm noticing is a bit dear to me :)

 - The info boxes were meant to make the very very long page grokkable
 indeed, but I think @karmatosed is mostly referring to those boxes having
 a table in it? We could style that a bit more elegantly yes, starting by
 not giving the table any margin so it feels more like it is part of the
 box.

 - About the copy-paste thing, do I understand that @pento has gotten the
 click-to-copy-to-clipboard thing working now? If so that is amazing. To
 the point of being able to review your copied text - is that really
 necessary? All the info is technically present on the page, and after
 copying you can paste it somewhere and then review if you want to remove
 something from it. I don't think many people scroll through the whole
 thing to see what all is in there before they copy it, but then again
 that's only my assumption. I just feel like we are making it harder than
 it needs to be. The main usecase in my mind is a support engineer asks you
 to copy that infodump, you want to give someone the quickest way to do so.
 Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong in that though.
