No. While jQuery 2 just dropped old-IE hacks jQuery 3 introduced some breaking changes.
You can play a bit with jQuery Migrate plugin to see how much the things are broken and what would it look like to migrate Magento 2 to jQuery 3. What is the value such migration would bring?
Just wondering, why somebody would like to use jQuery for such a complicated project as ecommerce system in 2016 at all? :)

i agree that jquery is not the best js lib for ecommerce but i think it will be overkill if i use angularJS framework on magento 2 .– GoldyCommented Jun 11, 2016 at 13:20

There is support for modren API and promise support.. ii think its pefect for read 3rd party and connect to REST API blog.jquery.com/2016/06/09/jquery-3-0-final-released– GoldyCommented Jun 11, 2016 at 13:23

Yeah, I've read those blog post before answering but wasn't impressed at all :) As to me, jQuery should be buried in Magento 2 just like PrototypeJS before rather than upgraded. I don't think jQuery+jQueryUI+KnockoutJS+whatever else is bundled too is a bigger overkill than one elegant solution like Angular 2 ;)– OrlangurCommented Jun 11, 2016 at 14:16

i agree.. you can use angularJS2+ionic2 to build magento 2 app for your own . For now , M2 support only jQuery and i cant insert angular 2+ionic +knockoutJS or whatever because jQuery is required for M2– GoldyCommented Jun 11, 2016 at 15:05

>>> jQuery+jQueryUI+KnockoutJS+whatever else is bundled too <<< this is what is currently used in Magento 2 already. >>> i cant insert angular 2+ionic +knockoutJS or whatever because jQuery is required for M2 <<< why? to customize core features you'll have to deal with bundled stack but to build your fancy features from scratch you can pick whatever tool better fitting your needs.– OrlangurCommented Jun 12, 2016 at 16:06
