Should the folders be renamed to |

Yes; the "freeform" name is quite confusing! 😅 |
It's called Classic in the UI:
I don't like exceptions, but in this case, it is only an internal name. We refer to it as classic every time we chat. I would vote to rename the folder and the variable assigned with import and leave the rest as is. Sidenote: when you search for |

We could register Classic block in here to avoid conditional in other parts.
if ( window.wp && window.wp.oldEditor ) {
registerBlockType( freeform.name, freeform.settings );
setUnknownTypeHandlerName( freeform.name );

I wasn't sure about the implication of the order of the block's registration, I know it has some importance in the transforms priority.

I don't think it is important in this case, but I'm fine with leaving it as it is.

We probably still need to add a changelog entry because technically speaking, you still can enable Classic block by defining |

I'll wait for a review of #10396 to merge this one as it's targetting that branch. |

@talldan, looking into it. |

I can't reproduce:
All 3 styles for wp_register_style(
'wp-edit-blocks',
gutenberg_url( 'build/block-library/editor.css' ),
array(
'wp-components',
'wp-editor',

Hmm, unusual. Restarted my docker env and it's fine now. Thanks for looking into it. |
In order to merge Gutenberg into Core easily, all the Gutenberg JavaScript Core must be shared a reusable npm package. This PR moves the freeform block to the packages folder.
The idea is to test whether the
wp.oldEditorglobal (provided by WP) is available or not before registering the block. An alternative proposed by @gziolo is to move this block toedit-postmodule. I think both alternatives are good options. We'll probably have to revisit at some point either way so I just went with the simplest one for noow.This also means the block library is fully available as a package. (so a bunch of files removed etc...)
Testing instructions
Make sure you can use the classic block properly.
