By default, `Next.js` builds all routes along with their respective `CSS` and `JS` files. Because of this, the overall bundle size becomes quite large, even when we only need a few specific routes for a particular build. ## Proposed Solution It would be really helpful if `Next.js` allowed us to exclude certain routes during the build or build only the required routes based on the use case. This would significantly reduce bundle size and improve performance  Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a good approach to handle this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
