 Hi @Webzzz,

 First off, I appreciate your passion to make WordPress better. However, I
 disagree with your approach. Personal attacks are not welcome here and
 everyone is entitled to respect. I can assure you, no ones goal here is to
 “just close tickets”. I kindly ask that you refrained from this tactic in
 the future.

 As for the intent of your ticket. The
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/45953#comment:3 original code
 snippet that you shared] attempts to replace jQuery, jQuery UI, and jQuery
 Migrate to the latest versions, and your ticket title says to update
 jQuery and jQuery UI. I just read through #37110, and the most recent
 patch updates both jQuery and jQuery Migrate to the latest version. While
 reading through the comments, it was also suggested that
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37110#comment:15 updating jQuery
 UI at the same time would help fix lots of warnings that may occur].

 To me, #37110 does address the requests in this ticket. That ticket also
 details and addresses the handful of problems that are experienced in
 various areas of WordPress experienced as a result of upgrading jQuery to
 3.x. In addition to just upgrading and fixing issues in core, this change
 needs to be communicated far in advance so that plugin and theme
 developers have adequate time to update and ensure compatibility with the
 new version of jQuery OR to opt into the fallback approach also being
 worked on in #37110.

 I also looked at the changes included in the latest version of jQuery UI
 (which WordPress is only slightly behind on). This version drops support
 for IE 7, 8, 9, and 10.  Until very recently, WordPress still supported
 these versions of IE.

 Also, this ticket was closed in favor of #37110 ''because'' that one is
 older, already contains several iterations of a fix, and has links to
 about ten discussions in Slack on the topic. When a fix is ready and all
 potential aspects have been adequately considered, it will happen on
 #37110.
