What?
Part of:
In the Gutenberg Experiments page, group together the media-related experiments and better clarify what each does. There are currently three:
The Media Editor Modal experiment is very new, and I expect that it'll replace the Media Editor experiment entirely. I'm not removing that experiment just yet as I'd like to see how far we get with the modal approach first. But my hunch is that we'll remove
Media Editorand just have the two modals as experiments. Until then, we've got three.Why?
A colleague asked which experiments did what, which made me think we should clarify the labels on these as the experiments have shifted slightly from their original labels / intentions, and grouping them together will hopefully make them easier to find in the list.
How?
Just changing the wording of the labels, but not the actual experiment keys in use.
Testing Instructions
Open up: http://localhost:8888/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gutenberg-experiments and give the experiments a read. Do they make sense?
You can also smoke testing enabling them and seeing that the flags still work as expected

Grouped together, and hopefully a bit clearer (happy to tweak if it still feels off!)
