I disagree, and I fail to see how you can come to that conclusion. *now* no JS packages will depend on any JavaScript minifier but instead be served non-minified. *later* (when a package "javascript-minifier" is invented and available) JS packages can choose to add runtime dependency on javascript-minifier. That will cause an actual minifier to be pulled in. If deemed sensible we can provide a dummy javascript-minifier-dummy package as a fallback dependency for those preferring no minification. ...but that is an implementation detail open for discussion, not needed to decide now, and even then not needed for all JavaScript package to use. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
