 Most of the weird GD/Imagick workarounds in the earlier patches were added
 to account for bugs and shortcomings in some of the PHP 5.x modules, where
 WebP support was only partially or inconsistently implemented.

 Since WordPress now requires PHP 7+, that PNG stream workaround is
 probably not needed any longer.
