Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 this one on the Gutenberg side is still in discussion:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75993

 @berislavgrgicak I worked on a wp core solution (just on the WordPress
 side). Can you confirm this fixes the issue on your end?
 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11109. It excludes the
 extra files as it brings over Gutenberg during the build.

 I couldn't figure out how to build a test zip so i'm looking at the build
 folder. is there a grunt command i am missing?
