Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 FWIW, I'm not sure this sentence from the "Ongoing cleanup after update to
 jQuery 3.5.1" section is accurate:
 > One side effect: it generated a set of cryptic messages on the dashboard
 that informed only developers. In 5.7, you will get far fewer of those
 messages, and they will be in plain language.

 This appears to be about the changes in #51812, specifically [50001],
 [50270], [50367], and [50420]. It's true that there should be far fewer of
 those deprecation messages, however:

 1. I think the messages were only in browser's JavaScript console, and not
 exactly on the dashboard.
 2. More importantly, I'm not sure about the "will be in plain language"
 part, as there were no changes to improve the language. I think that would
 only be the case when using the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-
 jquery-migrate-helper/ Enable jQuery Migrate Helper] plugin.

 At the moment, I don't have a better wording for this sentence, just
 wanted to bring it up for discussion :) Maybe just removing the "will be
 in plain language" part is worth considering?
