 One of the core values of WP is being an open ecosystem.

 With more and more plugins using WP blocks or other JS (react), the amount
 of plugins/themes shipped **without** core JS files and maps increases.

 These plugins/themes are therefore a closed box - any console errors are
 unactionable (since it's from minified JS without a map) and the plugin
 can also not be extended easily (since the source code is obfuscated in
 the minified JS)

 Therefore I suggest that:
 - plugins/themes listed in the directory must contain .map files for
 minified/obfuscated JS
 - plugins/themes listed in the directory must contain
 unminified/unobfuscated source JS (or coffee/ts/...) files
 - plugins/themes listed in the directory must not contain obfuscated PHP
 (I think that's the case already now?)

 This should obviously also apply for WP core.
