What reason do you have to believe that the security holes in Jquery 1
will eventually be fixed, if upstream has abandoned it in favor of
Jquery 3?

Note also that insecure packages will be forcibly removed per Fesco
decision just this week:
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1935

You'd have to obtain some kind of exemption from that policy if you
want to keep an insecure Jquery 1 around indefinitely.
