Incompatibility issue

The unnecessary and non-urgent modification in 2.0.3 causes an incompatible problem.

This should be a Core Block!

This should be part of WordPress core blocks. Thanks for fixing Gutenberg!

Easy to use. Thank you developer. Don’t forget to remove links from inside the group.
