Comment:

 The script `jquery.form.js` is not deprecated but it's use is deprecated
 in WordPress core. We used to use it long time ago as it was adding
 methods similar to `.serialize()` and `serializeArray()`. However these
 methods were added in jQuery 1.3 making the script redundant for core use.

 Agree we needed to update it so we don't break plugins that use it but
 perhaps we can give a warning and remove it early in 3.3.
