Comment (by micasuh):

 Understanding a huge majority of plugins using jQuery 1.x by default, I'm
 curious to know, now that it's 3+ years after this thread was started, if
 integrating jQuery 2.x should be considered.

 jQuery 3 is on the horizon as an alpha phase:

 versions-released/

 <=IE8 are globally in low single digits as of last month with IE6 and IE7
 not even registering or measured:

 At what point does the WordPress community force plugin developers to drop
 oldIE support and move to 2015 (and less than two months from 2016)?
