bootstrap.css.map 404 errors even as commented out in bootstrap.css file

Question

Safari is throwing 404 errors (bootstrap.css.map) using "Inspect Element" for new 5.0 theme using out of the box theme.

Cause of issue is last line of bootstrap.css, specifically:
/*# sourceMappingURL=bootstrap.css.map */

I realize it is commented out and users here are also flabbergasted as to why it causes problems:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21773376/bootstrap-trying-to-load-map-file-how-to-disable-it-do-i-need-to-do-it

Regardless, removing last line from bootstrap.css resolves issue, however others may miss unless this was intentional.

Can you provide insight into this???

Hello,

There is nothing to worry about this Error Message. The sourceMappingURL is usually used for Minified or SASS Versions so that if there are any issues with the Production Files, the original/unbuilt state of the Files can be used to debug by the developers. But since it is not required here, you can simply remove this Line of Code as this will not have any effect or cause any issues. We will remove this Line of Code from Our Future Updates to avoid any confusion. :)

Hope this Helps!
