Comment (by Clorith):

 We're waiting on the next jQuery UI release here, which should land before
 beta, but we'll need to reassess when the release is ready if we are
 comfortable including it in 5.8 or not.

 As it stands, since the repository for the next version is still changing,
 I don't think it's reasonable to build from source on our own at this
 time, when we can make do with one more release of jQuery Migrate being
 enabled by default. Although this puts us in the same situation we were
 previously of pushing it ahead of us, there's a more definitive plan at
 least now of turning it off as soon as the next jQuery UI is available,
 which makes me more comfortable pushing it one final time.

 If anyone on the JavaScript focus area have thoughts on this, I'll happily
 bow to their expertise in the field though, these are just my immediate
 thoughts on it.
