 Replying to [comment:126 a4jp.com]:
 > Also how can we tag plugins in the directory that use jQuery at 1.12.4?

 Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere and if it was, please ignore
 this comment.

 This is a good point. I see the conversation on this ticket mainly focuses
 on what will happen to users who have offending plugins already installed
 and active. What about offending plugins that are going to be installed?

 Will the WordPress plugins directory list offending plugins with no
 warning they will break the admin? Not sure how it can be done from a
 technical perspective, but I'd say that at the very least all plugins that
 use jQuery `live()` should be clearly marked as: "This plugin is not
 compatible with WordPress 5.5 and later".
