Comment (by ravikhadka):
Hi @knutsp thank you for the feedback and the warm welcome 🙏
I completely understand and respect the “Decisions, not options”
philosophy. My intention isn’t to introduce unnecessary UI complexity, but
to highlight a common performance-related use case. Many developers and
site owners already disable block styles via custom snippets or third-
party optimization plugins.
If a user-facing toggle is considered too risky from a philosophy
standpoint, perhaps a standardized core filter or constant could be
explored instead. That would provide an official and stable mechanism for
performance-focused builds without requiring manual remove_action code in
every project.
Appreciate the discussion and happy to align the proposal with a more
core-friendly approach.
