Comment (by aristath):

 This is extremely disruptive... I understand why we're doing it, but some
 block themes include a script that urges users to activate Gutenberg, with
 a 1-click install & activation step (using the script from
 https://github.com/WordPress/theme-experiments/tree/master/require-
 gutenberg
 Could we do something similar here?
 Throwing an error in this fashion is scary to many users and gives the
 impression that themes are broken, which is far from true.
 Maybe we should guide users instead of saying something went wrong? We
 could add a buttons that says "Install Gutenberg", linking to `wp-
 admin/update.php?action=install-
 plugin&plugin=gutenbergt&_wpnonce={$nonce}`? This way users would at least
 understand that using this theme is not prohibited, they just need to take
 an extra step.
