Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @dmethvin Thanks for your offer of help. The biggest thing we can use help
 with is testing and explaining the changes to developers.

 I think the biggest concern preventing this from landing is maintaining
 backwards compatibility, especially since jQuery is often enqueued on the
 front end as @jorbin
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37110#comment:12 pointed out].
 Nevertheless, WordPress 5.0 will already be our biggest breaking change
 ever, and updating jQuery at the same time makes sense to me. I'm going to
 refresh this patch with the latest version of jQuery and hopefully land
 this soon in trunk.
