Comment (by ellatrix):

 @youknowriad There seems to be duplicated CSS in `/wp-includes/css/dist
 /block-library/` for each block separately, this seems like an issue with
 the new build script?

 I believe another large part comes from the new Global Styles UI packages,
 which is bundled in a lot of other packages instead of exported to a wp
 global: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/72599. @youknowriad
 any reason we can't make those private APIs?

 And I'm guessing `build/routes/` has a similar situation with no scripts
 reused.

 Cc @mcsf regarding the icons, I guess there's nothing to be done but
 wanted to double check if the 332 public icons is correct.

 Here's what Claude found for me:

 || build/routes/ (new) || +5,500 KB || New admin pages — 6 list routes
 ~800KB each (unmin+min) ||
 || css/dist/block-library/<name>/ (new) || +3,000 KB || Unused duplicate
 of per-block CSS already in blocks/ ||
 || editor.js + .min.js || +2,010 KB || global-styles-ui/engine bundled in

 || script-modules (new, 6 packages) || +1,776 KB || latex-to-mathml,

 || components.js + .min.js || +1,473 KB || Unminified grew +1,475KB due to
