Comment (by ellatrix):

 I just want to share my two cents. I don't completely understand both
 sides of the discussion, like the concerns with version controlling some
 of the files, and all the remaining issues to be fixed on the other hand.

 But what I do know is that compared to WP 6.9, syncing Gutenberg in 7.0 is
 so much easier. Thankfully last time we had two frequent Gutenberg
 contributors in the release team because if we still had packages, it
 would have been a lot more stressful for one person to handle.

 Another really nice thing about the current setup is that contributors can
 update the Gutenberg ref in a core sync/merge/backport to point to their
 branch in Gutenberg and test things without needing to wait for a package
 update and hope that everything turns out well.

 It would be a pity to me to go back to package and I hope we can resolve
 the issues. Perhaps a middle road is to version control some of the files
 again, I don't really know if that would fix everything.
