4. Follow up

Block Lock
We discussed whether the block lock should be allowed in the themes. The themes team discussed that themes can have the block lock as long as themes provide a mechanism to limit users from using the features. Users must be able to enable or disable using GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.
