Comment (by Ipstenu):

 @asafm7 There are MANY ways to converse without jumping to insults (I was
 directly calling out a specific person in my other reply for a reason, you
 didn't do anything wrong).

 Frustration is fine, we all get upset and frustrated and want to throw our
 hands up at things, but being **intentionally** mean is not okay. No place
 is good for telling people they (or their work) is ''trash''.

 Now, I agree it's confusing.

 This ticket is not for 'discussion' in the sense that it is not for
 ranting about how much you hate WP/Gutenberg/a person. This ticket's for
 collecting data and working on issues, discussing the issue's technical
 merits and flaws, offering information that can help the security folks
 determine if this was the wrong fix, and finally for talking through
 possible solutions.

 At this moment, we are ALL stuck waiting for security to make some kind of
 call here. And that SUPER sucks! I hate it too. I would love to know why
 this is somehow more risky than shortcodes in general, and why a security
 release with a breaking change was not more clearly announced to everyone.

 IMO, this absolutely should have been something forums was pre-warned
 about. And it should have been a heck of a lot clearer in the release
 post. Even just 'Shortcodes no longer work in block templates due to a
 security issue. We will disclose this issue....'

 That probably would have gone a long way to stave off panic.
