Bio:
I am passionate about solving problems, Liverpool football club, and Marmite, although probably not in that order. One of my duties has been as the technical LMS lead for Virginia's Community Colleges for the past 15 years or so, and now as they have moved from another LMS to Canvas. While far from a hard-core programmer, I enjoy making life easier for myself and college staff (in that order). I am mildly proud of building an elegant per diem calculator, and of being on Google's Higher Education Customer Advisory Board.

I know I can use Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acommunity.canvaslms.com), but why is the search here so awful? It's not even boolean as best I can tell.

Will you remove jQuery-migrate in beta before removing it in production? I'm getting a warning in beta, but no line number, and it's not clear what the issue actually is.
