 * As Jeff already knows, I’m a *huge* fan of the Disable Gutenberg plugin. I’m 
   using it on over 80 WordPress sites I currently manage.
 * Now, for the change request… when you activate the Disable Gutenberg plugin, 
   it automatically disables the interface for everything, except Widgets, which
   must be manually disabled.
 * Can I recommend that when activating this plugin that the Widgets Gutenberg Blocks
   Editor is also disabled by default?
 * For the average person managing just a few (or even a single) site(s), this isn’t
   a major time saver.
 * For others like me, having to manually log into multiple sites to enable the 
   classic widgets interface, after being able to do a batch activation via WP CLI
   can be time consuming. 🙂
 * Thanks for at least considering this (hopefully minor) change, Jeff!

 * Hey Douglas, I think this is a great idea given the nature of the plugin. Will
   roll it out for the next plugin update. Thanks for the feedback! 🙂

 * Just to follow up, this change is implemented in the next version of DG. Should
   be available later today. Thanks again Douglas.
