Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:3 sami.keijonen]:
 > Why not leave the old text widget and have TinyMCE widget as a new
 widget? That would not break anything.

 True, and this was brought up during the
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1496265718180633 dev
 chat]. But Matt wants to move forward with the upgraded Text widget as-is,
 with there not being a great enough concern for some users potentially
 having to adjust their usage to align with the new behavior (which aligns
 with longstanding post editor behavior).
