 WordPress uses Imagemin in Grunt to minify new images. However it seems
 the last time new (non svg) images were added was 7 years ago. See:

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/images?order=date&desc=1
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 admin/images?order=date&desc=1

 Seems the `imagemin` task in Grunt has been redundant for a long time.
 Perhaps would be good to retire it and go back to minifying new images "by
 hand" before committing them, if non-svg images are ever added again.
