 > This 1 pixel difference in the border-radius between selects/buttons vs.
 input fields comes from Gutenberg. It's now implemented in core after
 feedback from the design team. As you're an experienced core contributor
 and you follow core development closely, you may know that I'm not in the
 design team. I think your concerns would be better addressed asking the
 design team.

 I’ve asked them, and it’s been deferred to this weeks‘ Design Team Meeting
 in Slack. Since those changes are happening as part of this ticket (and
 others) I’m voicing them here for lack of a better non-Slack place. 📨

 > Nope :) It's in Gutenberg since several months now. Unless you want to
 consider Gutenberg something that is "not WordPress", stating that this
 CSS is completely new is not correct.

 Gutenberg has had its own styling, thus far targeting its own screen(s).
 Merging that into this is incomplete either way it’s looked at – either
 this 3px should be 4px, or all the others should be 3px. 🔄

 > Personally, I care about consistency across the WordPress admin. I'd
 like to see the same, consistent, simple, predictable form controls
 styling everywhere. Then, if borders are rounded, squared, or ''à pois'' I
 honestly don't mind as long as form controls are accessible :)

 Here we are in total agreement. 😁

 > Honestly, I'm a bit tired to have to defend the design team decisions
 when no one from the design team is following or even showing any
 interest. However, once again: please consider these are design changes so
 please direct your concerns to the design team.

 If there were a more appropriate ticket to leave this feedback on, I
 would, but that work is being lumped into this work, across 4 other
 tickets that don’t explicitly discuss this change or decision as is here.
 The last I saw, it was 4px. Why it reverted back to 3px has no mention.

 If no one wants to own the problem, I will, but the reasonable thing to do
 is have whomever currently has been making these decisions to chime in
 before this bug is shipped in 5.3.
