 The dependency currently used to ensure images are properly minified is
 `grunt-contrib-imagemin`. It seems that JPG, PNG, GIF, and SVG are the
 only currently supported formats.

 [57322] expanded the task to also minify images in default themes. But as
 of 6.7, there will now be 2 default themes that ship with WebP images.

 Alternative image minification packages with better support for modern
 formats should be looked at to ensure these images are also properly
 compressed.
