 If we add `noConflict()` to a hook the only purpose would seem to be for
 plugins to remove it.

 The hook proposed in #16494 has other valid uses, but this may not be one
 of them.  That said, moving the `noConflict` call out of jQuery itself
 would fix the issues caused by poorly coded plugins/themes that de-
 register jQuery, then re-registering a version that does not have the
 `noConflict` embedded in it.  The problem with these issues is that the
 are seldom with the misbehaving plugin, but cause issues for other
 plugins.

 I do think most people assume that the WordPress distributed jQuery is the
 stock jQuery, not one that has been modified by WordPress.
