Sounds like a vote to remove the prototype dependency from
scriptaculous. I'm in favor for all sorts of reasons.
A clean separation obviates any the-owner-doesn't-participate-anymore-
style discussions. I want to be able to trim the file size by
removing unused functions. I want my developers to be able to
understand it without learning the new syntax. I don't want to have
to suffer the slowdown introduced by some of the syntactic sugar.

For example, I virtually rewrote the scriptaculous drag and drop
library to clean it up and fix about 15 tickets total. The whole thing
deadended because I couldn't take the punishment that Prototype.js was
giving to me daily.
