 Replying to [ticket:5111 bradleyt]:
 > 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.

 You've mentioned `css/dist` but I'm not seeing a significant amount of
 data being loaded from there, I'm assuming you're referring to the
 `js/dist` scripts instead.

 It appears that they're being included due to the new WordPress.org
 Meetings Calendar, which is a Gutenberg block, and it's loading it's
 dependancies which includes React and a bunch of other dependancies.
 In general, the next plugin/theme JS include following the core components
 will be the culprit for what is causing them to be loaded.

 Hopefully there's a way to slim down / combine / something these files
 otherwise that's going to be a huge impact upon sites in the future.
 I've filed a bug against the plugin, so lets resolve this there instead:
