Comment:

 Okay, that reduced the nightly zip file from 18.3MB to 16.7MB. For
 comparison, the 4.9 nightly is 13.4MB.

 I'd expect a similar size decrease in the release zip, dropping it from
 13.6MB to 12MB. For comparison, the 4.9.8 release zip was 9.5MB.

 I don't think there's much more space to save, the additional 3.5MB of zip
 is taken up by:

 - Minified package JS/CSS files: 3.4MB
 - Unminified package JS/CSS files: 7.5MB
 - The size difference between Twenty Nineteen and Twenty Fifteen (the
 latter is removed from the 5.0 release zip): 700KB.
