Replying to [comment:9 johnjamesjacoby]:
> I can’t imagine a scenario where it’s a good user experience to show
this warning on every incompatible meta box on any page.
That's why the current behaviour is to show the message only rarely, the
intention is to continue that practice.
> If an incompatible meta box is triggering classic editor instead of
blocks, isn’t the reason and result already pretty obvious?
No. Outside of this message, there's nothing to indicate which meta box
caused the fallback, or which plugin is generating that meta box.
> The user can’t fix it themselves anyways; what good is it to say
anything at all?
The user can decide whether the plugin causing the fallback is really
something they need, and either contact the plugin author to see if it
will be updated, or choose to switch to a plugin that does offer block
editor compatibility.
