I can introduce js-jquery2 to keep 2.2.4 around longer. I just don't want
to have too many compat packages in the long-term... when it's better if
people just migrate.

Any suggestions for the upgrade path? Should js-jquery2 have "Obsoletes:
js-jquery < 3"? Or should users automatically be upgraded to version 3, and
have to explicitly install js-jquery2?
