 Replying to [comment:9 johnjamesjacoby]:
 > I can’t imagine a scenario where it’s a good user experience to show
 this warning on every incompatible meta box on any page.

 That's why the current behaviour is to show the message only rarely, the
 intention is to continue that practice.

 > If an incompatible meta box is triggering classic editor instead of
 blocks, isn’t the reason and result already pretty obvious?

 No. Outside of this message, there's nothing to indicate which meta box
 caused the fallback, or which plugin is generating that meta box.

 > The user can’t fix it themselves anyways; what good is it to say
 anything at all?

 The user can decide whether the plugin causing the fallback is really
 something they need, and either contact the plugin author to see if it
 will be updated, or choose to switch to a plugin that does offer block
 editor compatibility.
