 Replying to [comment:13 jorbin]:
 > I'm absolutely open to improvements for 5.0.  In my eyes, getting rid of
 JSHint for 4.9.3 is a case where perfect is the enemy of complete.
 Esprima isn't going to solve things forever, but license issue with JSHint
 issues are resolved in a way that will allow it to come back so that style
 checks can come back.

 Sounds good, I'll have a think about what else we can do to iterate for
 /trunk and 5.0 +1

 For starters, I don't think we should keep a file named
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/js/codemirror/fakejshint.js?rev=42547 fakejshint.js].
