I think that is sensible.

I personally think that "notes" are way too premature to be used seriously
by normal people yet, and if we want to fix UI and semantics warts (it is
understandable if we had plenty of them, simply because we didn't know
enough about possible use cases during the period we prototyped the notes
feature), the time to do so is now.
