Comment:

 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB2JS7/p1539609185000100 As of
 this morning], I think we have an alternative path forward:

 1. Keep the existing UI for Categories, Tags, Post Parent, Authors, and
 Shared Blocks.
 2. Load data into Gutenberg with `?per_page=100&page=1`,
 `?per_page=100&page=2`.
 3. Use https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/6723 to avoid UI
 inconsistency while the data is loading.

 We can use https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/6694 to track the
 aforementioned steps through to completion.
