Comment:

 Thank you! Let's continue iterating on this for 7.0. For 6.9 we can at
 least have core default to registering scripts with `fetchpriority=low`
 (already done via #61734) and `in_footer=true` (in review via #63486).
 Having the `block.json` being able to override these defaults will be
 useful, but in the meantime this override can be done with PHP code after
 the blocks are registered.
