Comment (by pavelevap):

 Sure, no problem, I know TT1 theme, but it was strange change in beta3 for
 2021 theme. And it is not possible to add custom page templates for
 traditional themes like 2021 now?

 So, when users make a new installation to test one of the new features of
 WordPress 5.8 (custom block templates for pages) then it will not work by
 default, but they have to install TT1 theme first and then also Gutenberg
 plugin (required for TT1)? It should be easier to present this new feature
 to users by default in WordPress 5.8, I guess. Currently it is hidden and
 too many steps required to activate it. Or TT1 will be part of WP 5.8?
