Most of the time you don’t need these IDs anyway. I am using the [mod_pagespeed](https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module) module on my server and the `combine_css` filter doesn’t work if the `` tags have ID attributes. So based on [this blog post](https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2011/10/wordpress-and-mod_pagespeed-why-combine_css-does-not-work/) I created a very very simple (basically one-liner) plugin that removes the ID attribute using regex. There is also a very simple unit test for it, created using wp-cli: `wp scaffod plugin ...`. Enjoy the speedy sites! 🙂 Do you want to contribute? Great!
