Comment (by dmsnell):

 @youknowriad of the 98 PHP files I see removed, it looks like 14 were
 auto-generated, and that accounts for seven blocks because there’s a
 `view.asset.php` file and a `view.min.asset.php` file.

 are we in agreement then to restore the 84 (86%) of the files that are
 normal PHP files, mostly block code that’s required for WordPress to boot
 and which is hand-maintained?

 I wouldn’t have any problem version-tracking the asset files, and we could
 `.gitignore` those or even better, perhaps, mark those as binary files to
 short-circuit the extra review stage when combining updates from the
 projects.

 That would have been a great way to address what I hear you saying, which
 is that you are frustrated that generated files show up during merges,
 while not breaking all of the existing workflows dependent on the non-
 auto-generated files.
