------------------------------+-----------------------------
 The `wp-includes/assets/script-loader-packages.php` file was added in
 #48154 through [47352] as a means to automate the process of updating the
 NPM packages from the Gutenberg repository (including dependencies and
 versions) in a way that the packages would still be available through the
 `wp_(enqueue|register)_scripts()`.

 This works great, but the file is a single line return statement that
 returns a multidimensional array, which makes it impossible to read
 through without reformatting it.

 I am proposing that the file not be minimized to one line in order to make
 it human readable. This would have an added benefit of making the
 changesets readable, allowing someone to view a changeset and understand
 exactly what was changed or updated (see [47920], [47517], [47513]).
