Comment (by ellatrix):

 > with the empty folder strategy it will no longer be possible to run the
 PHP parts of Core without a build step

 Not sure if I see a difference between the two. A git module would still
 require the same step in an svn repo?

 > I guess my question is how do we determine which PHP files live in
 Gutenberg and which in Core.

 Yes, I don't think this solution aims to fully solve PHP "backports". The
 way I see it is that we'd still require a hook in Gutenberg and a
 "backport" in core, even though they're pretty much added at the same
 time. The Gutenberg plugin will also still have to run without WP trunk,
 on the current WP version. But what it does solve is removing the need for
 npm package syncs, and backporting PHP changes at a later time (this
 pretty much forces us to commit both at the same time).
