The plan for jQuery is now outlined at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/jQuery
I plan to introduce two jquery packages:
js-jquery - jquery 2.x latest - for webapps that use jquery2/don't
care about IE6
js-jquery1 - jquery 1.x latest - for webapps that do care about IE6
Thank you for clarification; it absolutely makes sense to me, from a
packager perspective, we don't need to argue about bundling etc :D
With my OpenStack Horizon hat on, I see a huge piece of work coming to
me. Many of the JavaScript guys I talked to in the past don't care about
that, or try to argue, why bundling is necessary. Sigh.
