Comment (by afercia):

 I would like to see this change be checked and considered from an
 accessibility perspective.

 Also important: I would like to see it checked on Windows, as the macOS
 font rendering engine is known to render the fonts weight a little
 'bolder' than what other operating systems do. To me, the 400 font weight
 is too light on macOS already and I guess it ends up to be definitely too
 light on Windows.

 On a general note: I'd think this kind of small but very impactful changes
 should be considered with more caution and be discussed more broadly
 instead of being proposed and committed in less than 2 days. Personally, I
 was unaware this change was planned. The fact this proposed change comes
 from the new design system is certainly important but it doesn't mean it
 should be committed without allowing broader discussion because I'm not
 sure the new design system has received broad feedback and had the
 necessary visibility, so far.

 Cc @joedolson can this be discussed in the next accessibility bug scrub>
