Description

With 6.4-RC2 the core/term-description block is not registered.

---

It seems that #51053 was made in order to hide the Term Description block from the post editor (and just have it available in the template editor).

For context, this change breaks the Term Description block used in our patterns in WooCommerce Blocks: woocommerce/woocommerce-blocks#11300

If this change is not reverted, 6.4 will cause breakage for users currently using those patterns but not having Gutenberg active.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. With a block theme, open Appearance > Editor.
2. Open Templates > All Archives.
3. Try to add the Term Description block. Notice that it's missing from the Inserter.
