Bootstrap receives a Long Term Support Plan
Each major version of Bootstrap will receive at least six months of support after it is retired, followed by six months of critical bug fixes and security updates.
This official announcement from the Bootstrap team is important as website maintenance and update planning will be more projectable for developers.
https://blog.getbootstrap.com/2019/07/24/lts-plan
According to this blog post, Bootstrap v3 will not receive security updates anymore and that’s why the Bootstrap 3 download option has been marked as deprecated and will be removed shortly. Once Bootstrap v5 is published, this new version will become our default Starter Theme and Bootstrap v4 will become an optional download.

Goodbye jQuery…
We’ve removed jQuery as a frontend dependency from our Starter Themes.
Please note that jQuery is still needed in the WordPress dashboard (backend) and will be loaded there automatically!jQuery has been very useful for a while but modern web standards browser support has improved a lot and most JS frameworks started to drop any external dependencies in favor of plain/vanilla JS.
Reducing the loading time of web applications and minimizing HTTP requests is one of the main goals of many developers. And since jQuery is an external library which needs to be downloaded first, avoiding it (if possible) makes a lot of sense.
If your code still depends on jQuery you can activate it in functions.php by adding
array( 'jquery' )in thewp_enqueue_scriptfunction wheremain.jsis referenced (See: https://github.com/them-es/themes-starter-bootstrap/blob/v2/functions.php#L480).Further reading:

them.es+ has been deprecated and will be removed
Our them.es+ plugin has not received much love recently and we decided to put it into EOSL status. This means that the code base will not receive any further updates and we can not provide any support anymore. Please note that the plugin will be removed from the WordPress plugin directory and from Github (sooner or later).
Gutenberg has become the new default editor in WordPress 5.0, superseding shortcode driven editing experience to the greatest possible extent (which is good by the way!). From now on WordPress developers should put their efforts into improving Gutenberg which will be the indisputable future of WordPress.
In this scenario them.es+ doesn’t fit in anymore.
