 * My sites rely heavily on custom post types and taxonomies. The ability to work
   with them has vanished with the forced change to Gutenberg. I cannot even find
   a workaround apart from editing the database itself.
 * So, I’ll have to find a way to disable it until it will function with the plugins
   I’m using.

 * There are many ways to make things work how you want.
 * 1. Install one of the many plugins to disable Gutenberg, some disable for the
   whole site, some for just certain CPT.
 * 2. You can manually disable Gutenberg for a CPT, by setting the REST API to false
   in the CPT registration code.
 * 3. If you don’t want to use a plugin to disable Gut. for the entire site, just
   put this in your theme’s functions file:
 * add_filter(‘use_block_editor_for_post’, ‘__return_false’, 5);
 * And these are just some things from the top of my head.
