Comment (by celloexpressions):

 A secondary button, or even a link (depending on what the action is, auto-
 installing the plugin would be nice) would be more appropriate than
 introducing another primary button here. When a new user lands on the
 dashboard, they should still see the "welcome" panel first, and it should
 have primary visual hierarchy as that's the starting point for working on
 their site. Maybe the Gutenberg section should be more minimal here, with
 a way to expand to show more information and other graphics, or emphasize
 a primary flow that links out to a marketing page. If this is in core, it
 can't be easily changed without a core release.

 An alternative idea would be to promote Gutenberg as the next major focus
 for core at the end of the 4.9 about page. That's a more appropriate place
 for this sort of information, and the users that see that would tend to be
 the ones that would be responsible for installing the plugin on their
 site.

 Also, it still feels a bit premature to introduce this as "Gutenberg" and
 "The new editing experience for WordPress" ''within'' core before a merge
 proposal is published. And as I stated previously:
 > 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.

 Hopefully the core team can make that commitment before 4.9 is released,
 but if not, it doesn't seem appropriate to encourage its use on live
 sites.
