Comment (by poena):

 Of course, I am not opposed to speed improvements.
 But before this can be considered, the minification must be solved.


 - Which tools to use and where
 - Which documentation efforts are needed (where will it live?), and who
 will manage this task?


 (high) No matter what tool that is used to minify the files, it will
 **drastically** increase the difficulty for users to use the theme as an
 example for their own projects.
 Please don't dismiss this as a non-issue. It does increase what level of
 coding knowledge that is needed.

 Adding build tools defeats the purpose of block themes, which are intended
 to be able to be created directly from the Site Editor and exported as new
 themes, without any coding knowledge.


 (medium) No matter if the tooling is is added to the theme, or if the
 tools in core are used, it will drastically increase the difficulty for
 new contributors contributing back to the themes by submitting patches to
 Trac.

 (low) It increases the maintenance burden of these files, which we have
 seen in the other bundled themes where the contributor needs to for
 example use SASS or build RTL files, and repeatedly submits incomplete
 pull requests.
