Comment:

 Are there any cases where a block view script ''has'' to be executed in
 the `head`? If not, instead of moving block view scripts to execute in the
 footer, as has been suggested on
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/52536 gutenberg#52536], how
 about keeping them in the `head` but add the `defer` attribute? This will
 allow early discovery of the block scripts to start loading early, but
 then their execution will still be delayed until the DOM has loaded, thus
 not impeding LCP.
