Comment (by celloexpressions):

 What are the usability implications of putting a large screenshot of wp-
 admin at the top of the dashboard? At first glance this seems confusing
 and disorienting for new users especially.

 What is the status of guaranteeing backwards and forward compatibility for
 content created while the plugin is active and continues to be evolve? Any
 change to the integrity of published content and its formatting that
 results from changes during continued development and evolution would be
 unacceptable from the point that we encourage users this directly to
 install it on live sites. On the other hand, this could require core to
 take on significant technical debt to maintain compatibility for earlier
 iterations of the editor as a plugin. There should be a make/core post
 addressing this issue, at a minimum, along with a compatibility plan for
 the next stage of development as a plugin. ''Before core'' encourages
 millions of sites to use the plugin and rely on it functioning a certain
 way.

 Is it appropriate to refer to this as "gutenberg" in code, or in database
 fields (as user meta)? Note that [attachment:41316.8.diff] still uses
 "Gutenberg" in some user-facing text. From a core perspective, this word
 is unlikely to ever mean anything once it's eventually merged - should it
 be described that way now?

 Why is there an `@since 4.9.9` in [attachment:41316.8.diff]?
