Comment (by afercia):

 Noting that #45270 is still open and its resolution depends also on what
 are the plans about including the Classic Editor plugin in 5.0 for
 upgrades, see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45270#comment:13

 In the meantime, would it be possible to improve a bit the sentence and
 link for the Classic Editor please?

 `Need to use the old editor? [link]Learn how[/link]`

 "Learn how" is equivalent to links like "Read more" or "Click here". It
 doesn't make much sense when read out of context. Worth reminding
 assistive technologies have tools to jump through links, list all the
 links in a page, etc. Landing on a link that tells only "Learn how" is
 less than ideal for users who need it the most. Ideally the link should
 include the _what_ and tell users something like:

 `[link]Learn how to use the old editor.[/link]`

 or something along those lines. I'd tend to think the previous sentence
 should be adjusted to adapt to the new link.

 Additionally, if this link is now going to open the Classic Editor plugin
 details modal, that's a problem. Modals have accessibility issues. The
 ones in core still need improvements and using a modal here is not so
 ideal, considering it's very likely this link will be used by persons with
 accessibility needs. I'd suggest to link to the add new plugin page,
 Classic Editor is now in the Featured tab: `wp-admin/plugin-
 install.php?tab=featured`.
