The automatic updates of the caniuse-lite database can cause unnecessary merge conflicts between branches and merge requests. This behavior can lead to inconsistencies in the generated CSS across projects when the database version differs.
We will offer easy way to trigger caniuse-lite database updates in theme update functions, so you can easily refresh all your project when you need it.
To suppress the related warning, you can set the BROWSERSLIST_IGNORE_OLD_DATA environment variable:
export BROWSERSLIST_IGNORE_OLD_DATA=true
Or add it to your environment configuration if using a tool like DDEV.
Default scripts in package.json will be changed a bit:
Active
2.0

MR is ready for a review, it is in the draft mode only because first we need to commit ✨ Automatically add cache bust query string to icons.woff Active because this MR is build on top of MR from that issue.
@berdir suggested adding BROWSERSLIST_IGNORE_OLD_DATA into gulp task so we do not need to do it in ddev or in some other way. Now we suppress caniuse-lite old db warning always.
