 * With Gutenberg 9.1, I can finally add blocks to my widgets. Will I be able to
   add GenerateBlocks to them at some point? I believe this functionality will be
   rolled into WordPress 5.6 in December. Thanks, O.

 * Hi there,
 * As of right now, it seems like custom blocks will need to opt-in to the widget
   area. We will keep an eye on this and will integrate as soon as possible 🙂

 * Hi Tom, thanks for the quick response. Glad to know that you plan on integrating
