On page load, all block with placeholders with instructions are now all "speaking" at once. Is this by intention?

@ellatrix No, it needs to be fixed.

Is there a better way or is it okay to ignore?

Mhh, there isn't an obvious better choice. Maybe @tyxla can think of something here?

Thanks for the ping @ciampo!

Nope, if we remove the fieldset in favor of a div (which I agree it makes sense), there's no other way to query for the empty div. There are other DOM traversing alternatives, but this one is the most precise.

Therefore, since I agree with removing the fieldset in favor of a div in this use case, I'm fine with the ignore. Making an element inaccessible intentionally is the ideal case for this type of ESLint ignore.
