Comment (by Looimaster):

 "It has no use in core at the moment."
 "Indeed, we only bundle scripts that we need and use."

 Do you use jquery-effects-blind, jquery-effects-bounce, jquery-effects-
 clip, jquery-effects-drop, jquery-effects-explode, [...10 more...],
 jquery-ui-selectable, jquery-ui-position, jquery-ui-accordion, prototype,
 scriptaculous-root etc. in core?

 1) Number of people that would like to use jquery-ui-selectable in their
 themes or plugins: 1 out of 100.
 2) Number of people that would like to use Modernizr in their themes or
 plugins: 10 out of 100.

 I think that nowadays every other theme or plugin wants to detect touch
 devices and hide elements or change position: fixed; to position:
 absolute; for them. It makes a lot of sense to use Modernizr and not
 something like wp_is_mobile() (the biggest problem: it's PHP and doesn't
 allow JS nor CSS detection and such detection is needed right there). I
 would open a discussion for this library. It becomes more and more useful
 as more touch devices appear and browser market is differentiating.
