Comment (by dlh):

 > `wp-edit-post` (`@wordpress/edit-post`) is the package containing
 scripts and styles that implement the post block editor (`edit.php`). It
 shouldn't be enqueued in the widgets block editor (`widgets.php`).

 Enqueuing `wp-edit-post` would be one thing, but, in this case, the
 offending block in this case only declared it as a dependency so as to
 define the load order of stylesheets in the editor.

 True, under the hood, declaring it as a dependency amounts to the same
 thing as enqueuing it. Until now, it has been harmless to do so, and if
 there's documentation from previous releases advising against it, then I
 just missed it.

 So, if providing backwards compatibility is as straightforward as the
 patch by @manzurahammed suggests, then I would still hope that core could
 provide that affordance to developers to save them a surprise.

 Alternatively, if core knows that `wp-edit-post` shouldn't be enqueued in
 the widgets block editor, perhaps there should be protections in core
 against that happening, although I don't know what kind of precedent there
 is for such protections.
