 I recently upgraded to 7.0.  This has caused `global-styles-inline-css` to
 be forcibly injected into my blogs's <head>. This breaks some of my
 styles.

 Previously, I was able to put the following in my theme to remove global-
 styles-inline-css - but this no longer works.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action( "wp_enqueue_scripts", "remove_global_styles" );
 function remove_global_styles() {
         wp_dequeue_style( "global-styles-inline" );
 }

 remove_action( "wp_enqueue_scripts", "wp_enqueue_global_styles" );
 }}}

 Neither of those work. I do not use blocks. I have removed Gutenberg.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 function remove_wp_block_library_css():void {
         wp_dequeue_style( "wp-block-library" );
         wp_dequeue_style( "wp-block-library-theme" );
         wp_dequeue_style( "wp-components" );
 }
 add_action( "wp_enqueue_scripts", "remove_wp_block_library_css", 100 );
 }}}

 This appears to be a regression. Previously it was possible to remove the
 unwanted and unnecessary CSS. Now it is not.
