If we can also resolve https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/56481#comment:63, then this a good candidate for WP 6.8. Why?

The editor relies heavily on data preloading, especially for user permissions. Merging this early will also allow early adoption in the client code, which needs to support the last two major WP versions.
