Modern web parts on classic pages
As Sharepoint Framework now is in GA I again wonder how modern web parts are supported in classic pages. In a general article about the Framework, it says: "These client side Web Parts works on the new Modern pages as well as in classic pages and even in the SharePoint mobile app." Vesa Juvonen or Waldek Mastykarz - could you give us more detailed instructions?

When working with classic pages, you can use SharePoint Framework client-side web parts the same way you would use any other web part. Once deployed in the site, you can add the web part to the page from the web part gallery.

Is there a way to get the "out of the box" modern web parts on classic pages? I don't know that we're going to be developing our own web web parts any time soon, but I would like to start putting some of the new web parts into classic pages to try make the transition to full modern SharePoint more gradual - at least for our Intranet homepage.
Not at this moment, no. I haven't heard any updates regarding this but will definitely update this thread if I hear anything.
I would also like to know when we can expect this. It would be nice to start incorporating some of the new web parts onto our intranet homepage before we eventually cut it over to the full 'modern' UI.
