 The login page is quite heavy.

 - The `user-profile` script adds `zxcvbn`, `wp-util`, jQuery, etc. (about
 1MB together). When not resetting the password, a small inline script
 might be used.
 - The Dashicons stylesheet (about 60kB) is rather large for 3 icons if
 they could be inline SVG instead.
 - Because the login page does not include `locale-` body classes,
 `l10n.css` only change the body font for RTL languages. If login.css sets
 that font instead, the stylesheet could also specify 'Arial Hebrew' with
 `body.rtl:lang(he-IL)`.

 However, the separate `buttons` and `forms` stylesheets could remain as
 dependencies.
