Description
This ticket is to trac the discussion on timeline for removing the wp496_privacy pointer.
As @desrosj indicated we'll need to look historically how long pointers lifespans have been and decide upon a timeline and release for deprecating the Privacy pointer.

As 5.1 RC is impending I would assume this would be 5.2+ unless it becomes a blessed task (leaving that decision to others..

Let's remove this in 5.2. There are a few issues with the implementation (#44136), and 5.2 will be the third major release after the feature was introduced in 4.9.6.

Looks fine to me @desrosj , I just want to add that when we implemented these pointers we've added a small css addition as well https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/43942/43942.3.diff at src/wp-includes/css/wp-pointer.css.
I'm guessing that stays though as an overall addition, correct?
IMHO Privacy Pointer is very nagging for users in backend.
In general is very nagging as well for all other usages in backend.
I suggest to totally remove it for all usages!
