Comment:

 [https://github.com/WordPress/twentytwentyfour/pull/348/files PR 348]
 intentionally reduced the padding for a List block from `--wp--preset--
 spacing--70` to `--wp--preset--spacing--10` (`1rem`) "so the list items
 align nicely with the heading." With the small value, the bullets of an
 unordered list align with surrounding content better than the numbers of
 an ordered list would, especially when the numbers have multiple digits
 and/or the list has its own border or background. **Maybe** the theme
 could increase padding slightly for //any// List block, using the `--wp--
 preset--spacing--20` value.

 However, users can insert a List block inside a Group block and then
 assign the exact padding, border, and/or background color they desire on
 the Group instead. The theme does not need to //correct// the List block
 padding, and people who already use the theme could prefer to keep the
 existing `--wp--preset--spacing--10` value.
