官方给到的解释如下:参见:http://blog.jquery.com/2017/03/20/jquery-3-2-1-now-available/

Sometimes you don’t need ajax, or you prefer to use one of the many standalone libraries that focus on ajax requests. And often it is simpler to use a combination of CSS and class manipulation for all your web animations. Along with the regular version of jQuery that includes the ajax and effects modules, we’ve released a “slim” version that excludes these modules. The size of jQuery is very rarely a load performance concern these days, but the slim build is about 6k gzipped bytes smaller than the regular version – 23.6k vs 30k.

翻译过来就是:

有时你可能不需要Ajax,或者你可能选择专门为Ajax请求写的其它库。 对于所有的Web动画,通常使用CSS和Js类操作的组合才更合适。 除了包含ajax和特效模块的常规jQuery版本之外,我们还发布了一个排除这些模块的“slim”版本。 jQuery的大小现在大多数情况下已经不是需要关注的问题,但是slim版本比普通版本小了大约6k个字节(23.6k VS 30k 压缩后)。

bootstrap 4,官方手册中介绍的默认使用的slim版本。
