My favorite part of the release notes: "Despite jQuery.isNaN() being undocumented, several projects on Github were using it. We have contacted them and asked that they use jQuery.isNumeric() or some other solution."
This is an excellent reminder of how much things have changed in the last 10 years in our space; a popular tools vendor can go query a massive source code repository and reach out proactively for transitioning deprecated functions.

Is there any way we can convince Google it's worth keeping it available?
