Comment (by Mamaduka):

 I think the initial placement of `add_theme_support( 'widgets-block-
 editor' )` was correct, and we need to update our docs to use
 `widgets_init` instead of `after_setup_theme`.

 The widgets support is added via `register_sidebar`, so doing something
 like this won't work as well:


 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
         remove_theme_support( 'core-block-patterns' );
 } );
 }}}

 I think themes can decide if they want to use the new Widget Block Editor
 when registering widget areas.
