If there’s still no viable, actively maintained jQuery widget, it seems we should really team up with WordPress and other consumers to maintain our own fork either of Select2/SelectWoo or another alternative.
I might be wrong, but I guess it’s not going to be more workload than putting more and more efforts into our own, outdated and limited autocomplete widget, especially taking into account all the effort site builders put into introducing their own custom implementations.
Either way it doesn’t seem realistic this would ever be implemented into Core within the D8 life cycle. May I push it to D9, while different routes are weighed in contrib? I’d love to see a major improvement, but fail to see it materializing... :/
