 > Seems the way forward would be to deprecate the old-style scripts and
 replace them with modules, then load them if/when a plugin enqueues them.
 (Of course, for this the module would have to be able to co-exist with the
 old-style script, and work together with it. This would probably be quite
 tricky. But lets look when we get there.)

 Can we apply a POC of this solution first to the most used ones?

 Applying just to `i18n`, `api-fetch` or `core-data`. As far as I know,
 community is asking to use core-data in the frontend too, and can be also
 a reason to "update it" to be frontend compatible and module compatible.
