Comment (by afercia):

 I'd like to add a short consideration: we're all here to serve the
 WordPress users to the best of our ability. In any open source project,
 I'd expect the highest openness and transparency towards users. I don't
 see the notice proposed here as something that can diminish the work made
 on Gutenberg and its goals. Instead, I see it as a great example of
 responsibility and transparency.

 We're working on it to make it better for everyone. Right now, we're not
 fully there, yet. The community who has closely followed the project is
 already informed, and the leads and contributors of the project have
 already acknowledged (to different degrees) accessibility in Gutenberg is
 not ideal yet. I don't see a good reason to not inform the wider audience
 of users in a proper way.

 On https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/11/07/classic-editor-plugin-
 support-window/ I also read that:
 > Since the Classic Editor plugin is central in this transition, we are
 considering including it with upgrades to WordPress 5.0. New WordPress
 installs would still add it manually, and we’ve included it in the
 Featured Plugins list to increase visibility. If you have thoughts on this
 idea, please leave a comment.

 If that happens, it could definitely help. At that point, maybe it would
 be enough to have a notice pointing users to the plugins screen. Thank
 you.
