Comment (by afercia):

 In [changeset:"47304" 47304]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="47304"
 Accessibility: Improve readability by removing unnecessary italic font
 style.

 Per Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, big chunks of italic text
 should be avoided.
 Same applies to UI controls, since they're meant to be comfortably
 readable by the largest possible audience, e.g.: label elements.

 Removes italic font style from:
 - the Quick Edit / Bulk Edit forms
 - the Recovery Mode plugin error details
 - the Image Editor inline help
