 No, it was an option for a complete different case. We are just guessing
 what's the best way to move on here.

 Imagine someone with "Disable the visual editor when writing" checked and
 this person updates to WP 5.0 - will this person expect the block editor
 to be disabled, the block editor not usable, because there is no option to
 convert to blocks or will the person expect the editor to show HTML markup
 like before in the current editor (Classic or blocks)?

 > People that want the code editor, don't want to add blocks and then edit
 them as HTML.

 If I want to **disable** Gutenberg, I would install the Classic Editor
 plugin, that's what the callout is saying to the people. If I had checked
 the mentioned option I want to see markup instead of visual presentation.

 Why do you think that people who had checked this option don't want to add
 blocks? I think this is the wrong assumption.
