 * I can’t believe WordPress is going to make the new Gutenberg editor permanent.
   We run a news site and all our editors absolutely hate the new format. Give us
   the option to disable it; we know it’s open source but you don’t have to be tyrannical
   about it.

 * First, thanks for taking time to leave a review. There is the classic editor 
   plugin – just checking you know of that being available. Can I ask what feedback
   you are getting from your editors? Would be great to expand on that a bit more.
