Comment:

 In [changeset:"60285" 60285]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60285"
 Media: Remove inline scripts targeting `IE < 9`.

 In #24902, an inline script was introduced to `wp_playlist_scripts()`,
 `wp_audio_shortcode()`, and `wp_video_shortcode()` for HTML5 compatibility
 in browsers running IE 8 and earlier.

 These browsers have long been unsupported by WordPress, and unsupported by
 Microsoft for 9 years or more. So this compatibility code is no longer
 necessary and can safely be removed.

 Hit the road, Jack, and don't ya come back no more, no more, no more, no
 more!

 Props aslamdoctor, mindctrl, nigelnelles, joedolson.
 Fixes #63471.
