 The WordPress zip size increased to 54.7MB in 7.0 beta from 24.8MB in 6.9.

 Most of the size increase comes from the vips library wp-includes/js/dist
 /script-modules/vips/.
 The worker.min.js file contains an inlined wasm that is 10mb and the
 script-modules/vips directory also includes a worker.min.js.map which is
 also 10mb.
 Similarly, there is both a worker.js and a worker.min.js.

 We should minimize the ZIP size increase to reduce the installation time
 on hosts and in Playground.
