Comment (by pento):

 Thanks for the work on the text, @michelleweber and @kjellr! It seems like
 there's a little confusion here, hopefully I can clarify it a bit. 🙂

 > The next major release of WordPress enables Gutenberg by default, and
 version 5.0 gets rid of the classic editor entirely.

 The next major release of WordPress ''is'' version 5.0. We'll be enabling
 the block editor by default, but we won't be getting rid of the classic
 editor: it'll still be heavily used as a fallback when the block editor
 doesn't work. (Say, for a particular custom post type, or when an
 incompatible plugin is being used.) It just won't be the default option.

 > To opt out, install the Classic editor plugin—it ensures that you always
 have access to the classic editor.

 This is kind of correct, but not really what we want to convey. The
 Classic Editor is about giving people the option to continue using the
 editing experience they're familiar with, particularly for more complex
 sites that may have plugins that aren't ready for Gutenberg yet.

 @chanthaboune's earlier suggestion conveyed the correct information, here
 it is in a more active format:

 ''The next major release of WordPress enables Gutenberg by default, but we
 understand if you need some extra time. To opt out, install the Classic
 Editor plugin—you can continue using the classic editor while you ensure
 your plugins work correctly with Gutenberg.''

 I'll have a patch with this in a bit, we can tweak the language between
 now and RC1.
