Comment (by synavista):

 What the previous Text Widget should or should not be used for is the
 topic for another debate (and has already been discussed in the #core
 Slack channel:
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1496953943793348). At this
 point, it's been agreed upon that there are some (expected) conversion
 issues regarding certain HTML content. I think what's important is
 figuring out what the next steps are to ensure users are not losing
 content as a result of the upgrade to the new TinyMCE Text Widget, and it
 would appear the devs are assessing the options and working on possible
 solutions as we speak.
