Honestly I don't think cancel should be destructive. I think "discard changes" 
should. But currently we don't change the button text after the user has made 
changes. Someone want to log that bug, should be simple since there are other 
actions that listen for changes to the text box to trigger a "are you sure you 
want to navigate away from this page" if changes have been made.

The current proposed change to use mw-ui-button for save/preview/show 
changes/cancel (on the edit screen) uses mw-ui-destructive (with quiet) for the 
cancel button.  This directly contradicts the style guide, which says, "This 
should not be used for cancel buttons.".

As noted at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/116725/ , my understanding of 
destructive is that you are deleting something that was already publicly 
visible, or at least has an impact beyond your own personal session.

The cancel button doesn't seem to fit that.  Cancel is a common concept, and 
semantically clear, so perhaps we should simply add mw-ui-cancel.
