 > This issue is being resolved in Gutenberg; I don't know what release it
 will be shipping in, but there's nothing more to be done about it on the
 core level, so I'm closing this as reported upstream. It has been flagged
 as a candidate for 6.3.1, but that does not mean that it will ship in
 6.3.1.

 Will link management get reverted exactly to the way it was? Honestly, the
 current implementation is driving me mad - and with me many, MANY others
 (just check out some of the other forums on this).

 I wonder how such a horrific piece of UX made it through the beta testers?
 Are these people even WordPress users themselves?

 Plus, I just can't help but wonder how this kind of "solution looking for
 a problem" type of feature bubbled up in the first place. There are real
 grievances real users have with Gutenberg, which are being completely
 ignored for months or even years now.

 Given that, why bother with vanity projects such as these no one ever
 asked for?
