I love the new GDPR compliancy features but I don't love this being a minor point release.

WordPress 4.9.6 includes more features/enhancements than I would expect to see in a point release. I really hope #Gutenberg doesn't force us to stall WordPress 5.0 until it's ready, because major delays could have a massive impact on the WP Economy https://t.co/kMjA0Oh6XF
