 Replying to [comment:55 westonruter]:
 > I think it is off the table at the moment, yes. It was the second
 solution that I outlined in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40951#comment:63 #40951 (comment
 63)]. The third solution there, however, is what I honestly think is the
 best and it's what got the most 👍 from the core team, and this third is
 the solution that is currently being implemented here and #40951: adding a
 new Custom HTML widget and then introducing a legacy mode to the Text
 widget to preserve old HTML, while also adding pointers to direct users to
 use the new Custom HTML widget going forward.

 Ok that's fair enough. To me it seems like this is the long way around,
 but I'll trust your judgement. Hopefully 4.8.1 can be pushed soon so we
 can move forward with updated instructions for end users.
