WordPress Gutenberg Breaks CKEditor Setup

I have CKEditor installed and much prefer it.  Upon attempting to write a new entry today I found post-new.php yielded just a blank page.  Then through my mental fog came the realization that WordPress has been threatening to cut in Project Gutenberg recently.  Additionally I realized that CKEditor plugin often conflicts with other plugins.  So upon disabling it I saw the new interface.  Ok no thanks.  I googled and found the following officially supported Wordpress plugin.

I was a little surprised that Wordpress must be automatically updating my php scripts because I run on my own servers.  The update process is detailed here:

Yoast Search Engine Optimization SEO PlugIn for WordPress Blogs

Control What Facebook Shows When You Share Your Link

The Yoast SEO plugin is a good tool for a novice at search engine optimization to improve their websites searchability and google ranking. The Yoast SEO plugin also allows you to control what your google search result entry and facebook shared link webpage preview will look like.  

Notes on the operation of FaceBook

Facebook only scrapes a page when you initially place a link in it.  If you change a webpage you need to trigger a rescrape.  Using Yoast SEO you can override everything for Facebook sharing.  

One bad point about this plugin is that it seems to be coercing you to give up your login credentials for your google search console which is likely your gmail credentials also.  I have been trying to do the manual method by retrieving the google secret code but keep getting a problem flagged when I enter the validation code.
