 * After updating to 5.5 I noticed in Site Health a new warning that post_max_size
   and upload_max_filesize values don’t match.
 * My understanding is that provided that the post_max_size value is greater than
   or equal to the upload_max_filesize value, there shouldn’t be a problem.

 * I found the same bug on almost all of my sites 🙁
    Seems like the health check
   requires the two values to be equal – which is false. post_max_size can be greater
   than upload_max_filesize so it should check only if upload_max_filesize is greater
   than post_max_size or not.
