Comment (by matveb):
While this is something we should eventually get to, I don't think we are
quite ready yet.
The placement under the appearance menu is tricky because these blocks
are, arguably, more on the content side. Being within appearance would
also increase overlap and confusion with template parts. It's also
possible that user-stored patterns would make an entrance at some point in
the future and that would need to be balanced. There are still some
unanswered questions about the IA of the sidebar and the appearance menu
in particular when it comes to the site editing projects that are
underway.
We've had some previous discussions on a "blocks" menu that would
integrate the block directory better, possibly patterns, and would be a
more natural fit for reusable blocks as well, but it needs some deeper
design explorations first.
For these reasons I think we should err on not precipitating adding a new
menu item if we'll need to reorganize things not too long after anyways.
