Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:38 skoen]:
 > Quick question though. Will this revert the «old» text widget to the
 «Legacy» type in 4.8.1, so that it will not break the site?

 Yes, if the Text widget was created/modified prior to 4.8.0 and if the
 Text widget determines it contains markup that TinyMCE could potentially
 corrupt (including if there are line breaks and the auto-paragraphing
 checkbox was unchecked), then it will revert to the legacy mode with the
 the addition of a notice, according to the patch proposed on #40951:
