Comment:

 I don't think we'll be supporting a constant for this, and instead simply
 directing people towards the plugin and maybe an `mu-plugin` wrapper for
 it, simply because the existing plugin isn't just a switch, it's going to
 involve code that isn't in core being used.

 WordPress has been trying to move away from constants, as they're very
 hard to change later down the track "Oh, I want Gutenberg why is it
 disabled? Oh, some plugin (or ex-developer) thought i wouldn't want it and
 forcibly disabled it, great.."
 I can see why some people would want to disable it, but I can't see any
 need for it to be done in such a manner.

 I think we can safely close this as `wontfix`, that may change later (and
 we'll re-visit this then), but I don't expect it to.
