Views are a core part of page building, how will placing them work in an Experience Building future?
I didn't get a chance for this one in the Drupalcon session, however I know I won't be alone in needing it, so asking here.
I can envision some scenarios:
1. View placement won't be support
2. Placement through the Drupal Block system
3. Some sort of more advanced integration, perhaps with a new Views Display type that allows for passing paramaters or contexts? (perhaps like Views Block Override?)
Is there already a vision here (I didn't seem to find this in the existing dicussion/demos), or is it still to be discussed?

At least initially.
We've literally begun the work to bring Block support: #3475584: Add support for Blocks as Components.
@lauriii, can you confirm? :)

lauriiiExperience Builder will have explicit View builder eventually. Until then, placing Views happens through the block system.

ken hawkins commentedThank you for the information, it's very good context to have.
If you're not already aware of the https://www.drupal.org/project/views_block_override project, it may have techniques that could be intersting (primarily utilises contextual filters), or it may be helpful for the interim period where placing Views as Block is possible but and advanced build has yet to be made.
