Comment (by desrosj):

 I attached a PR that accomplishes this. It seems that we're just
 constantly adding and removing the same properties release to release:

 - `-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio`
 - `-o-tab-size`
 - `-webkit-clip-path`.

 This seems to have been happening since 6.2 in [55139], [55150], [56279],
 [56948] and [56956]. I don't love that we're just churning code back and
 forth even in built files.

 Looking at `-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio`, I'm not sure why this is
 being added/removed. It looks like this is a [https://caniuse.com/mdn-
 css_at-rules_media_-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio currently supported
 property in Safari].

 `-webkit-clip-path` also appears to not be required in versions with
 enough usage to be added back.

 For `-o-tab-size`, this looks to be happening because Opera Mini
 (unreleased since 2015) is hovering at 1.029% usage. It's likely
 fluctuating above and below the currently defined 1% threshold from month
 to month. It's also required in Opera 11.5-12.1, but all of these are at
 0% usage.

 I think that we could probably consider dropping Opera from our explicitly
 defined `browserslist` in the near future. The entire Opera user base
 consistently sits at ~2%, and there's always the `> 1%` rule in the
 `browserslist`. More research will need to be done, though, to determine
 how that ~2% translates to WordPress users.
