I doubt my word would carry any more weight.<div>

As far as I can tell the only things that are broken by the upgrade in core by a Masonry 3 are the footer widgets in core bundled themes.<div>
Nacin, and I think Helen as well, consider that a show-stopper. If you disagree with them on this, could you please say so in the ticket? I know lead developer trumps theme review admin, but theme review team admin should carry more weight then random guys (ie me and Rohit.) Thanks.</div>

<br></div><div>I say: provide a reasonable timeframe, and make the change. The problem (apparently - I'm also not a jQuery person) is that WordPress core bundles an outdated version of Masonry. We shouldn't compound that issue by forcing it to remain in core. If a bridge script can be written, all the better. But it shouldn't be a showstopper for getting Masonry 3 into core.</div>

<div><br></div><div>The short end of it is that if at all possible, core upgrades cannot break people's websites.
