It was added in #2729 to override line heights set on the body by modern-normalize. However, it appears that modern-normalize never included any line-height definitions—only a font-family rule was present.

Maybe I misunderstand something but there's a line-height rule here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/modern-normalize/blob/v1.1.0/modern-normalize.css#L33

Yup, and the <body> inherits that line height by default, there's no need to explicitly set this.

Thanks! This looks good to me. Did some more testing across Safari/Chrome/Firefox just in case.
