I feel like I already wrote this code before. Do you think there's value in exposing a generic version of this in the data module? (I'm on the fence personally)

It is identical to the one in block-editor, yes. I'm not sure either about making it generic. I'm not a huge fan of the fact we have to do a null return render, and I don't know that if that was possible to avoid, we'd be able to change it while maintaining the implementation as being a higher-order component. I was inclined to leave it for future consideration.

I feel this prop should be passed down from editor/provider to block-editor/provider as well right (unless we access the block-editor store from the editor components (which we probably do on a second thought but maybe we shouldn't) ?

Right now we just explicitly pass false:
Which I think is how we want it to be:
- If you wanted your own block editor with its own subregistry, you'd render BlockEditorProvider yourself
- If you wanted your own post editor with its own subregistry, you'd render EditorProvider which would create a subregistry. The EditorProvider would pass
useSubRegistry={ false }to its BlockEditorProvider, but that block editor still operates in the same subregistry as created for the EditorProvider
In the end, we get a flatter hierarchy of registries. For the main post editor, we still only have a single registry.
For what becomes of the embedded editor in #14715, there is a subregistry which is used both by the EditorProvider and its BlockEditorProvider.

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation.

This pull request seeks to introduce automated sub-registry creation for the
EditorProvidercomponent. It is identical in purpose and in implementation to theBlockEditorProviderenhancements merged in #14678.This will bring consistency in editor creation, where #14715 proposes to reimplement reusable blocks using its own rendering of
EditorProviderto leverage both the blocks-editing behaviors of@wordpress/block-editor, and the post lifecycle management of@wordpress/editor.Implementation Notes:
This introduces API changes to
@wordpress/editorand@wordpress/block-editorin the form of exposing their respective base data store configurations. For additional context, this was explored and discussed previously in #14367 (comment) .Testing Instructions:
There should be no regressions in standard use of the editor.
You may place a breakpoint at any code within
@wordpress/editorwhich has access to the registry to confirm there is no effective difference in reference betweenmasterand this branch, since sub-registries should only be created when not at the top-level.
