Comment (by sabernhardt):

 > Do I understand correctly that from 7.0, 'script' added like in the code
 example below will not do anything and the bundled themes should be
 updated to remove it?

 I would not remove 'script' from the array in themes that support
 WordPress versions prior to 7.0. Anyone who has a reason to update the
 theme but not core would suddenly have the `type` attribute and/or `CDATA`
 for scripts.
