Comment (by afercia):

 So for history and reference, and for users who can't install 5.0 beta or
 see an image, as of today the message in the about page is made of two
 parts:

 At the top of the page, there's a link pointing to in-page content:

 > Welcome to WordPress 5.0
 >
 > Thank you for updating to the latest version! WordPress 5.0 introduces a
 robust new content creation experience.
 > Learn how to keep using the old editor.

 The targeted section of the page contains some more detailed information:

 > Keep it Classic

 > Prefer to stick with the familiar Classic Editor? No problem! Support
 for the Classic Editor plugin will remain in WordPress until 2021.

 > The Classic Editor plugin restores the previous WordPress editor and the
 Edit Post screen. It lets you keep using plugins that extend it, add old-
 style meta boxes, or otherwise depend on the previous editor. To install,
 visit your plugins page and click the “Install Now” button next to
 “Classic Editor.” After the plugin finishes installing, click “Activate.”
 That’s it!

 > Note to users of assistive technology: if you experience usability
 issues with Gutenberg, we recommend you continue to use the Classic
 Editor.

 > Install the Classic Editor
