Comment (by philiparthurmoore):

 I'm coming to this late, so apologies in advance if this has already been
 addressed. A question regarding the following statement:

 Replying to [comment:9 westonruter]:
 > Ideally when all controls in a given section are not `active`, the
 section would in general also collapse automatically. The same goes for
 the new Customizer panels (#27406). However, there is currently no JS
 models provided for managing the state of the Sections or Panels. I've
 filed #28709 to introduce these models.

 So that I'm clear about this enhancement, does this apply to both controls
 and sections or only controls? `active_callback` currently works
 beautifully with `add_control` but it does not seem to affect
 `add_section`. I can see a case where entire sections are contextual, and
 custom controls (say, five or so) inside of a context-dependent section
 wouldn't need `active_callback` if the `add_section` call itself had
 `active_callback` on it.

 Again, sorry if I've missed something above or in other discussions. Want
 to make sure that I'm clear on this change, as I'm already implementing
 this against Core in a few themes. I'm a big fan of this enhancement.
