 In [59910], we replaced the "Edit Site" link in the admin bar to point to
 the top-level screen of the Site Editor, instead of opening the current
 template.

 However, we've gotten some feedback that this new link is causing
 confusion in workflows.

 For the 6.8 release, we'll revert to the previous link (i.e., a link to
 the current template), and aim for a more ideal link (possibly with a
 submenu) in the future.

Comment:

 [60193] looks good to backport.
