In reply to David Skarjune.

Here’s a suggestion: Gutenberg should be treated as an Automattic product like Jetpack. It could be developed and housed as a WordPress.com project and then shared with the community to use or ignore.

Ahhh, the voice of reason, at last.

That approach should make logical sense to both sides of this debate, and the development could carry on with all those who are sufficiently interested participating, and those who aren't, standing on the side-lines and shouting.

A bit like Brexit, I would imagine. :-)
