 seems very problematic.

 _massive_ select element.

 At the moment, the authors are only removed from the quick edit page. The
 option to change them remains on both the block and classic editor
 screens.

 The block editor uses the REST API to populate the dropdown.

 To test, my plugin was `add_filter( 'wp_is_large_user_count',
 '__return_true' );`

 trunk again.

 Please don't apologize for asking questions or raising concerns.

 It prompted me to do additional manual testing.
