Comment (by mor10):

 @jeremyescott @hlashbrooke The Classic Editor plugin is a good stop-gap
 measure right now, but when Gutenberg migrates beyond the editor, it will
 either have to get a wider scope, or other plugins will need to be added
 to disable more features. Which will put a big hamper on the future
 development of Gutenberg. A terminated LTS version will allow Gutenberg
 and 5.0 to continue evolving while allowing individual users to press the
 "pause" button on their own sites until they are ready to make the switch.
 I explored this in more detail here: https://mor10.com/gutenberg-forks-
 and-the-need-for-an-lts-version-of-wordpress/
