--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Gutenberg is falling behind more and more, bundling outdated/unmaintained
 packages, preventing the use of the latest react.
 e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/block-editor bundles
 >"react-autosize-textarea": "^7.1.0",

 Which requires react 16 (!!).
 There are far more examples than that, that all shipped with WP 6.2.

 Github issues for dependencies mostly go unhandled too, because there are
 200 packages now + the @types ones (which are also inconsistent, since
 some have types bundled while others haven't)

 The way gutenberg is maintained, organized and managed needs some major
 discussion and overhaul by someone who has enough credentials in the WP
 community to provide a clear plan ahead with Gutenberg.
