Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:42 audrasjb]:
 > This is not about explicitly encouraging people to use

 Right, but it is not in the default KSES filters. I.e. there is some
 effort to discourage people from using `target=_blank`. Afaik the reason
 seems to be that a lot of people tend to use this incorrectly seemingly
 because of some old/marginal/incompetent SEO advice?

 > Therefore I think we are definitely good to go with the current
 changeset.

 Right, adding of `noopener` was removed from WP some time ago.

 > Let's keep the accessibility workflow keyword for now

 Sure, thought it would be nice to ping the Accessibility team for a quick
 opinion.
