 Nope, was typing from my phone and just missed a word, should have been
 'want to see overloading prevented'. Will update my comment.

 Years of `__experimental` Gutenberg methods released in core, even though
 people technically could and IRL did (ab)use them in their own
 plugin/themes. Iteratively theyre being locked down or removed.

 Obviously if there's a way to block autoloading from the getgo we should,
 but marking `wontfix` instead of addressing that in a followup-ticket just
 to prevent devs fron possibly doing stupid things feels harsh 🤷 just my 2
 cents.
