Comment:

 Just wanted to share a high-level summary here, but I think this can be
 closed out in favor of new, more specific tickets:
 - The build script is stable and bundles the appropriate files from the
 Gutenberg repository into this repository without the performance
 degradation experienced by using a checkout of the actual `gutenberg`
 repository.
 - Running the `gutenberg` build script locally before building `wordpress-
 develop` is no longer required.
 - A number of changes have been made to remove nearly 900 files that were
 incorrectly being included in the built package accounting for nearly 6MB.
 - The change history of the files that were originally removed has
 successfully been restored and those files are subject to version control
 again. Follow up discussions can be had so that these file can be removed
 when safe and appropriate.

 Here is a collection of tickets that are related to this one and may or
 may not have been noted already above for easy reference: #64925, #64909,
 #64884, #64176, #64734, #64933.

 There is one related ticket still opened that should be addressed before
 7.0: #64874. And I have a long list of notes for follow up tickets to
 create.

 Notably, the spirit of the original goals is intact, and collectively are
 solved:
 - Making it easier to include PHP code from the Gutenberg repository.
 - Consuming files built through the `wp-build` package in Core.

 There's a lot of work that can be done, but this is a giant step forward
 in many ways. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this the last 4
 months!
