I think all your points are good ones. I do want to clarify one thing:
You are actually talking about adding another dependency. Koha will depend on jQuery 1.7 and 1.12, and later 2.2 and 3.0.
In this case when I talk about a dependency I mean for the end user, not for those of us managing files. I would prefer that there not be another file download slowing down the page.
A very good point. The minified jquery-migrate-1.3.0.min.js is less than 10kb, so the download (here) is only 20ms (nothing cached), and wait time / latency would (most probably) be concurrent with the 13 other .js files (opac search.) I have no feeling one way or the other whether that trades off equitably with the ease of backwards compatibility... Best -- Paul
