Comment:

 Hello and welcome to WordPress Trac!

 This `die()` call in  `WP_Widget::widget()` is meant as a warning for
 developers that they need to extend the method in their subclass. Nowadays
 such a class method would be declared as `abstract`, but for historical
 reasons that is not the case here.

 Since it's a message meant for developers and not end users, there isn't
 really a need to use `wp_die()` here just because a linter says so.
