Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 Update:

 What if the AJAX could be changed without needing a filter in a minor
 release? Could such a change be made cleanly without causing other unknown
 issues?

 Something the "Why not revert?" section in this ticket did not mention: a
 partial revert was messy and caused concerns of potential issues. It
 seemed too risky in a minor.

 @costdev and I took another look at the AJAX and asked ourselves: What
 part of this changed that caused the regression and impacts? Could only
 that part be changed to restore the pre-6.5 behavior? Yes, there is a way.

 #61319 is an alternative to this ticket. Like this ticket, it has pros and
 cons. Unlike this ticket, it does not introduce a filter nor requires
 changes in plugins.

 Though there's support and consensus to move forward with this ticket (the
 filter), IMO it's worth pausing to consider #61319. Which approach is
 better for the minor (to resolve the impacts and regression) and the
 future?

 **Action Item:**

 @costdev and I invite your feedback and testing of #61319 (please in that
 ticket for capturing context and history in one place).
