Comment (by gziolo):

 Replying to [comment:7 ocean90]:
 > Is it possible to merge the data into one file? I'm a bit concerned
 about the increased file reads + `json_decode()`. PHP files seem to
 provide the benefit of caching with OPcache?

 I don't think we want to merge all files into one. I refactored this patch
 to use PHP files instead. The difference is that now Grunt moves those
 files to its own folder at the same level in the hierarchy as `js` to
 ensure that they won't get exposed together with static assets.
