Feature description

We currently have 8 AMP-specific blocks:

We added these originally because we were trying to add AMP features without thinking about long-term whether the blocks would be useful or used. I highly doubt that any of these blocks are being used, aside from AMP Timeago. Also, these blocks are only in Standard mode, further reducing the likelihood they are being used. (This restriction should go away once Bento AMPi is a thing since then they could be freely used on non-AMP pages.)

What's more is that these blocks all say “AMP”. The user shouldn't care these are AMP blocks. They should just be blocks, and they should be split out into separate plugins to only be added if the user even wants them. Functionality should be serving the needs of 80% of users; anything else should be split into other plugins.

So I recommend that we deprecate these blocks, preventing them from even showing up in the list unless one is being used on a page (or on the site?).

Do not alter or remove anything below. The following sections will be managed by moderators only.
