Is including jQuery recommended?
Are there any plans to implement some mechanism to include jQuery more
efficiently from say the Google CDN for multiple extensions at a time?
I'm just thinking that if 10 authors include jQuery individually then
it's going to bog the browser down unecessarily. There must be a nicer
way of doing it?
