>Blocking FLoC is as easy as adding this header to the HTTP response:

That's "easy"?! How does my mom do that for her WordPress site?

Wordpress is doing it as a minor release, and backporting it. So it'll be opt-in to floc for all wordpress sites.

I hope they do decide to add the HTTP header to disable FLoC by default, unless site admins specifically opt in. From the discussion I've seen, it hasn't been decided for sure yet.

Proposal: Treat FLoC like a security concern - https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/04/18/proposal-treat-fl...

Consider implications of FLoC and any actions to be taken on the provider (WordPress) front - https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53069

WordPress should do it directly.
