    initial v1  
    11I investigated removing client side media from core in a PR, here is the removing feature savings analysis: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11309#issuecomment-4093581793

     3VIPS accounts for around 13MB of the new weight, or 4MB compressed.
     4
     5Our entire zip with VIPS/client-side media included is 61 MB uncompressed.

     7I checked the latest Drupal and it is 156.3MB uncompressed (35.9MB compressed).

     9I realize we don't want to ship duplicate code, or code that doesn't ''add enough value'', but - I'm not convinced we should be so concerned about our package size when adding incredible new capabilities like client-side media! We are shipping an entire media processing library compressed into a WASM binary directly to WordPress users! This is a major new component and I feel some weight should be expected her.

     11I'm not clear what the concern is about over the package size (besides the "worth the value" equation).
