Problem/Motivation
CKEditor 4 will be end-of-life at the end of 2023.
A new CKEditor 5 integration module has been added to core and is currently being stabilized: #3238333: Roadmap to CKEditor 5 stable in Drupal 9
Once it is stable, it must replace the existing CKEditor module for CKEditor 4 in the Standard profile, and CKEditor 4 must be deprecated and moved to contrib. This issue is to track work to remove CKEditor 4 from core after it is deprecated.
Proposed resolution
Start work on blockers for the module's deprecation now, so that we are ready to deprecate it right away once CKEditor 5 is stable.
See Remove a core module and move it to a contributed project
Remaining tasks
- Remove the CKEditor 4 module from core
- Open an issue against https://www.drupal.org/project/project_composer.
- Manually test upgrading from the core module to the contrib module.
- Move core issues for CKEditor module from the core queue to the contrib module.
- Move all core documentation for CKEditor module to the contrib project.
- When the issue in https://www.drupal.org/project/project_composer is fixed, update the documentation with the new composer command.
