Comment:

 This is in the legacy CSS. It was decided as part of the layout
 restructure in [46616] to not remove this CSS as some plugins used the
 about layout markup for their own update pages. By now we can likely
 remove this whole section of CSS ("x.2.0 - Legacy About Styles: Global"
 and below), but I would suggest opening a new ticket for that & getting it
 in early next release.

 The selector in question is also not wrong — it's meant to reset the
 margin on the first item inside a column.
