Hi @calumbrash, thanks for opening a ticket.

WordPress has included the minified version of jQuery in its current location since [4904]. I dug around to see if we had ever made a conscious decision, but this comment probably says it best.

If WordPress were to start serving jQuery at jquery.min.js, then we would also need to provide a backwards compatible fallback at jquery.js, which would increase the size of the WP project without much benefit.

A related ticket is #43055, which deals with how JS may be organized in the project going forward.

Okay thanks for your reply Jeremy, I thought that this might be the case.
