 could post that any time.

 I'm wondering if it'd be best to post that as soon as possible (after this
 is committed), to give devs plenty of lead time? Many will already have a
 lot of work to do around Gutenberg, so spreading it out as much as
 possible will help minimize the pain.

 If it is published soon, though, it'd be good to include a reminder in a
 5.0 dev note round-up.

 be used by WP CLI or in similar contexts [...]?

 Would it be better to just change the condition to `if ( ! is_admin() &&
 'cli' !== php_sapi_name() ) {` ?
