@Deskana is this still something that's part of the Editing team's long-term strategy? It seems like the focus in the next fiscal year will be mobile visual editing rather than working towards additional desktop rollouts, but you might intend to do this on the side or in a future fiscal year.

If you have no particular intention to do this, on the other hand, we can close this task and reduce some noise 😄

I'm not a fan of open tasks have been sat around for years, especially since closing and reopening tasks is cheap. This is not planned for the near future, so I'm closing as declined. If the situation changes, we can reopen it.
