In reply to John Teague.

I'm sorry that you feel that way about the concerns of many in the WordPress community. To clarify, I have never advocated for "a ground up rewrite of core", but rather occasional changes to fix things that were missteps made years ago, before people knew what WordPress would become.
Matt said that a new editor every decade makes a lot of sense. I'd argue that a revision of underlying storage methods should see the same sort of timeline.

In case you are interested, I laid out a theoretical timeline for how this launch could be handled, so as to make the transition as smoothly as possible. you can find it here: https://gschoppe.com/wordpress/the-gutenberg-that-could-have-been/
