In reply to Rod Olman.

I'm not aware of any reviews being archived, certainly not to try and change the distribution of ratings. Today the Gutenberg plugin has 1,987 one-star reviews, and about 240k active installations. (Remember it was auto-deactivated with 5.0 so people had to manually re-activate it.) There are well north of 20,000,000 sites running Gutenberg now.

I don't give these numbers to say any of the one-star reviews are wrong. There is so much we have to fix with Gutenberg! If people want to give feedback with one-star reviews, or comments, or tweets, or anything, we welcome it in every format and medium and we'll do our best to incorporate it into the roadmap of what we're trying to fix and improve with the software.

It will never be perfect, but I do think we can make it a lot better than it is today. I appreciate that people give it a fresh try every few months, and it's very rewarding when folks (like Linda's comment below) find that it's evolved to suit their needs.
