Comment (by afercia):

 I'd like to propose to include in the scope of WordPress 5.5 the "removed
 text" in the Privacy policy guide page.

 When deactivating a plugin that provided a Policy page, the whole removed
 policy text is presented to users _all italic_. It's a huge chunk of
 italic text where readability is far from ideal. To reproduce:
 - install and activate a plugin that provides a Privacy text e.g.:
 WooCommerce
 - deactivate the plugin
 - go to `wp-admin/privacy-policy-guide.php`
 - after the WordPress related text, observe the huge block of italic text
 under "Source: WooCommerce"
 - aside: I don't think the admin notice displayed there should be an
 "error" with a red border; also, the CSS class "error" is legacy and
 should not be used: notices class must be stacked with the base one e.g.
 `notice notice-info`
 - see the attached screenshot of the huge block of text

 This would be a one line change in `edit.css`, see the selector `.text-
 removed .policy-text`
