Comment (by westonruter):

 In [changeset:"61544" 61544]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61544"
 Build/Test Tools: Bump `esversion` from 10 to 11 in JSHint config.

 This updates the core configuration to allow JS language features which
 area already shipping in core via Gutenberg packages. Obsolete `/* jshint
 esversion: 6 */` comments are also removed from JS files.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10808

 Follow-up to [59963].

 Props westonruter, jonsurrell, mukesh27.
 See #63077.
 Fixes #64562.
