Comment (by celloexpressions):

 Without being actively involved in Gutenberg development, it seems like it
 is nowhere near a state where we should actively encourage users to try it
 out on live sites (which we do by adding any information in core for non-
 development builds). Before we can do that, it should at minimum be
 presented as the primary editing experience when the plugin is active.

 More importantly, we cannot encourage people to use it on live sites until
 development is at a stage where core (not just the Gutenberg team) can
 commit to 100% backwards compatibility moving forward. Without that, any
 content created with Gutenberg is at some risk of being degraded over
 time, and therefore, it cannot be used on live sites.

 I'm not sure what the 1.0 version is intended to signify (it would be
 great if a roadmap of some sort were publicly communicated via make/core
 and other means), but my passing observation is that that seems to still
 be pre-beta based on the current state of activity and progress. That's
 good, and the project deserves time to mature, but it realistically should
 not be promoted as an encouraged plugin to install on every live site
 until it's at more of a "release candidate" stage ready for final feedback
 and core merge consideration. I'd think that being more successful as a
 regular plugin in terms of reviews and being able to promote itself for
 use on real sites would be a good prerequisite to anything in core to
 promote more-widespread testing (see attached).
