Comment (by Bernhard Reiter):

 In [changeset:"58047" 58047]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="58047"
 Tests: Remove Gutenberg plugin activation e2e test.

 The purpose of `tests/e2e/specs/gutenberg-plugin.test.js` is to ensure
 that running the Gutenberg plugin (stable version) on a WordPress `trunk`
 install doesn't produce any fatals.

 The test was introduced in [54913], i.e. it has been around since WP 6.2.
 It makes sense to have it present on older branches, as the Gutenberg
 plugin not only supports `trunk`, but also the current stable version of
 WordPress (i.e. currently 6.5), and one version below (6.4). However, it
 is not expected to work on any earlier versions beyond that; in practice,
 it has produced errors on some of those.

 Additionally, the test was migrated from Puppeteer to Playwright after WP
 6.3, so it's not possible to simply backport [58046] (which would skip the
 test from running on outdated WP versions) to the 6.3 branch.

 As a consequence, it makes most sense to remove the test from the 6.3
 branch altogether, as has already been done for 6.2.

 Follow-up to [57972].
