As included in the blog post, jQuery 1.9.x will be supported in the long run.
It is completely fine to juse use 1.9.x until we can drop support for old IE as well.

I doubt this is possible. 1.9.x is supported in the long run and will continue to get
bug fixes, but it will not get the new features added from that point onwards.
So unless we somehow control that nobody anywhere accidentally uses these,
we'll have to stick with 1.9.x for now.
