Comment:

 The patches would cancel the theme's hyphens
 - on the front end
 - only for paragraphs
 - in the post content, summary and comments (but not widgets) and on the
 network registration page

 Hyphenation is probably **most** valuable with paragraphs in the post
 content area. If removing that style could be acceptable, I would propose
 just deleting the six lines that set the property to `auto` (and then
 closing #61800 as unnecessary). However, the hyphens been part of the
 theme's design for 12 years.

 I'm inclined to leave this unchanged. In the editor, reading whole words
 as you type them is more important than seeing them split as they would
 appear on the front. Plus, the paragraph can be a different width in the
 editor due to a sidebar (either the editor's sidebar controls or the front
 end's sidebar widgets), so you likely would not find the same words
 breaking to the next line.
