 On most (all?) pages on make.wordpress.org, there is a large amount of
 JavaScript loaded in the head of the document.

 Some of these are required for the pages to function correctly, such as
 the JavaScript enqueued by the o2 library, and from standard files like
 jquery.js

 However, there are a large number of files coming from
 https://make.wordpress.org/wp-includes/css/dist/. As an educated-guess, it
 looks like these pages are loading the entirety of the block-editor
 (Gutenberg), even though its not being used.

 This is having a massive front-end impact on performance across these
 pages. Can these scripts be de-queued?
