Comment (by mercime):

 In [changeset:"11564"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="11564"
 Replace title attributes with BuddyPress Tooltips.

 The values of title attributes provide additional information which show
 up on
 mouse :hover for some links. However, such text values are not even read
 by some
 ATs and the native title tooltips do not show up for keyboard users on
 :focus.
 This means that some users are deprived of helpful information which can
 provide some guidance to navigate through the BP screens.

 The new BP tooltip pattern shows additional information on :hover and
 :focus and
 prevents redundant information for users of screen readers or other ATs by
 adding `aria-label="some-info"` only as needed.

 See #7188.
