Comment (by TobiasBg):

 Replying to [comment:4 TimothyBlynJacobs]:
 > but it seems like there could be other scenarios where plugins/themes
 are relying on `jquery-core` being actually enqueued. I think it'd make
 the most sense to change `jquery` back to a wrapper for `jquery-core`.

 This might indeed also helps with a related issue that I noticed today: If
 a plugin previously had deliberately enqueued `jquery-core` (because its
 JS files didn't need `jquery-migrate`), the jquery.js file might now
 loaded twice (e.g. if another plugin or the theme is also enqueuing it).
 This leads to issues if other jQuery plugins (like `jquery-ui` and
 similar) are loaded, as the second copy of jquery.js then overrides the
 extended jQuery JS object again.
 Right now, this can be fixed by not enqueuing `jquery-core` directly, but
 it takes away the possibility to deliberately not load `jquery-migrate`.

 So, indeed, if `jquery` could be made a "wrapper" or "alias" for `jquery-
 core` (until the new `jquery-migrate` is integrated), the just-described
 problem and the original ticket problem should be solved.
