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...
