You bring up a very good point! Plugins like W3 Total Cache already help
with minifying JavaScript and CSS, although I'm not sure whether W3 Total
Cache does so with regular expressions on the HTML page (replacing
`<script>` and `<link>` tags) or by tapping into enqueue. Certainly using
enqueue will make this task of minifying easier.
However, I still stand by the argument that, for a theme developer, it is
much much harder to debug and test a theme with an enqueued stylesheet
than with a `<link href>` tag that IDEs and editors recognize.
Also, this is technically a theme issue. Let's see if this ticket will get
more attention there.
