22244	jQuery should register in footer by default	ryanve		jQuery is not needed on a page until just before the first script that depends on it. If scripts dependent on jQuery are registered properly via `wp_register_script()` or `wp_enqueue_script()`, then the script dependency system is smart enough to know where to load jQuery. Therefore jQuery should be registered in the footer by default (allowing the script dependency system to do its magic). This simple change can be made in wp-includes/script-loader.php in `wp_default_scripts()` and will no doubt improve performance on lots of sites. There may be some other default scripts that would benefit from this change too.	enhancement	closed	normal		Performance		normal	wontfix	2nd-opinion	nashwan.doaqan@…
