Comment:

 Is this something someone wants to own for 4.9?

 It seems the [https://github.com/jquery/jquery-migrate jquery-migrate]
 plugin has been updated to preserve pre-3.0 behaviors to eliminate or at
 least minimize breaking changes. Upgrading to jQuery 3.x would involve
 upgrading jquery-migrate, as well as potentially updating core usage of
 jQuery to make use of 3.x aspects once to lessen any notice that would be
 raised.

 I'll milestone it to 4.9 for now, but it depends on a contributor to own
 it. Liable to punt to future release at any time.
