Comment (by swissspidy):

 Thanks for the feedback everyone. I only now found time to have another
 look at this.

 I really think that adding `term.php` is the right choice, either now or
 in a later release. Since [36308] there haven't been any reports of
 breakage except for the one in Yoast SEO.

 I'd like to better understand how plugins are relying on the existence of
 `edit-tags.php` / the `edit-tags` screen name. A make post on the topic is
 a great idea and is definitely something to be considered. If this is not
 enough, we could also adjust the global variables in `term.php` instead of
 reverting. At least for this release.

 It's not something I want to decide alone, though.

 @atimmer Out of curiosity, why are you fetching the term ID from the query
 parameter instead of the global variable? And how difficult would it be to
 fix the plugin?
