Comment (by fullworks):

 Hi I'm adding to this trac, as this is just an observation rather than an
 issue, hope that is OK.

 I have just completed building a complete site using a Genesis child theme
 and 4.8.1 beta.   Everything is operating well, as long as the 'Custom
 HTML' widget is substituted when previously the 'Text Widget' is advised
 in the theme documentation.  So I think some sort of communication to
 theme designers ( especially Studio Press ) to update their documentation
 would be well advised.

 From my perspective, as a site developer that uses Genesis a lot, the Text
 Widget now is pretty much of no use at all and the go to widget has to be
 Custom HTML for 99% of the tasks I need.
