Comment (by swissspidy):

 The ticket title currently is `_Relax_ restrictions` but can't we simply
 ''remove'' those restrictions?

 By removing those restrictions, there aren't any issues with custom themes
 or symlinked plugins, while theme directory guidelines still prevent
 themes in the directory to register blocks.

 WordPress historically tried to make things ''just work'' for developers
 and not put any unnecessary roadblocks. But now anyone with a symlinked
 plugin who wants to register blocks that way would need to use a filter to
 make that work.
