Per my commit message:

something. If the content isn't empty, the editor will show so that users
still have access to their content.
You can run `add_post_type_support()` again on any hook that precedes the
`post_type_supports( $post_type, 'editor' )` check. `edit_form_top` seems
like a decent candidate out of the many that are there. Most, if not all,
should pass the `$post` context. I would far rather hide an editor that
typically does nothing for the front and leads users to wondering where
that content is supposed to show up. Themes that do use it (and I have
built them, so I am not pretending that nobody does this) typically need
further explanatory text in the edit screen anyway, given that this
expectation changes between themes, so a little extra code to be
purposeful about this use seems perfectly reasonable to me.
