 I'm sick to death of plugins and themes that replace core's jQuery with
 their own version or link to Google's CDN but without matching version
 numbers, or hardcode an additional version that overwrites `jQuery`. It
 causes so many headaches.

 I'm willing, at this point, to consider drastic measures. How can core
 protect against this?
