There's a note in the script-loader: // deprecated, not used in core, most functionality is included in jQuery 1.3.

If it's not deprecated upstream, I don't see much issue updating it for plugins to use it and/or who are using it now, since we probably can't just remove it.

  • Type changed from enhancement to defect (bug)

The script jquery.form.js is not deprecated but it's use is deprecated in WordPress core. We used to use it long time ago as it was adding methods similar to .serialize() and serializeArray(). However these methods were added in jQuery 1.3 making the script redundant for core use.

Agree we needed to update it so we don't break plugins that use it but perhaps we can give a warning and remove it early in 3.3.
