 When installing WordPress from scratch, there is considerable
 inconsistency with the style, size, and placement of the primary action
 button on each screen as you're guided through setup, installation, and
 login.

 1. **Language chooser:** Primary, large, right-aligned, with custom font
 size
 2. **Welcome message:** Secondary, left-aligned
 3. **Database connection:** Secondary, left-aligned
 4. **All right, sparky:** Secondary, large, left-aligned
 5. **Installation:** Secondary, large, left-aligned
 6. **Success:** Plain text link, left-aligned
 7. **Login:** Primary, large, right-aligned

 Granted not many people go through the full setup flow thanks to the
 prevalence of one-click installers, but let's give this some love anyway
 to improve first impressions.

 I propose that every button shown during setup and installation that takes
 you to the next step is styled the same as the login button, which is a
 primary, large, right-aligned button.
