If you use .mw-ui-button on an <a href> hyperlink, it gets an unwanted underline; add .mw-ui-quiet and you see this underline on hover, e.g.
http://ee-flow-extra.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin

The existing mediawiki.ui/components/default/buttons.less has:

// This overrides an underline declaration on a:hover and a:focus in commonElements.css, which the
// class alone isn't specific enough to do
a.mw-ui-button {
        text-decoration: none;
}

2. Quiet buttons. I remember clearly from talking to May that we wanted them to be colored in their default state and make them slightly darker in hover.

Yes, and I added that to

It's tricky because a row of Cancel Preview [Save] would turn into gray-blue-green multicolor, but without it there's no indication of the button type on mobile.

BTW latest Flow mockups have an "even quieter" design for

actions before you get a textarea with a quiet Cancel button and a CTA [Reply] button.
