 After considering ticket #49603, we think that WordPress should take a
 look at the consistency of informing users when they are in a destructive
 context and when a control will have destructive consequences.

 In general, we have a standing expectation that these controls will be red
 & have text that clearly indicates the action to be taken, but this should
 be reviewed for consistency.

 Reviewing #49603 showed that the 'Force Erase Personal Data' control is
 blue, which doesn't match expectations.

 The intention of 49603 is to draw attention to the fact that the 'Erase
 Personal Data' screen is entirely dedicated to destructive actions. While
 using a background color to indicate this may not be the ideal choice, the
 concept is well worth exploring.

 Summary: review destructive actions & contexts to ensure clarity and
 maximize error prevention.
