Comment (by antonvlasenko):

 I'm open to the idea of adding this to a plugin, but I'd like to share a
 few thoughts to initiate the discussion:

 1. Moving the code to a plugin could relieve the burden of maintaining
 functionality that may be becoming obsolete. That seems like a positive
 step.
 2. However, the plugin would also require ongoing maintenance. I wonder if
 maintaining a plugin might be more time-consuming compared to keeping the
 code within Core (if the PR were to be merged).
 3. As of today (October 2, 2024), there are 5 950 non-FSE themes and 984
 FSE themes in the WordPress.org theme directory. While I agree that block
 themes are gaining popularity, it seems that classic themes still hold a
 significant share.
