I noticed this change when I got a warning while trying out Sonar. Apparently the standards bodies have changed their minds:

This is a breaking change. I raised PR aspnet/StaticFiles#220 but it was closed without a reason given for why.

As per RFC 4329 and the IANA, text/javascript is still considered obsolete and replaced by application/javascript. If there is movement to change this by the WHATWG then that’s one thing but I would personally still consider the IANA to be the proper authority for these decisions.

At the very least, the current status is disputed, so changing something now would be the worse thing to do. We should wait until there is a definitive decision on this that all involved parties agree on.

The change is currently tracked by this draft RFC.
