Comment (by galbaras):

 Replying to [comment:91 bigcloudmedia]:
 > Seriously, this is becoming a **major** problem, and it's only getting
 worse the longer we take to rip the band-aid off.  If we can have freaking
 Gutenberg forced on us against our will (in spite of how it upends well-
 known and established workflows in WordPress), there's **no excuse** why
 this hasn't been done yet.

 Well said. And don't forget the push to upgrading PHP, and major plugins
 now supporting only the last 2 major versions of WordPress.

 In yet another direction, by the way, is there no way to plug the
 (apparent) security holes in 1.12.4? What about a custom WordPress-only
 jQuery version that doesn't have these issues?
