The issue isn't simply whether there have been changes in the file but
whether there have been changes in the file that are directly linked to
changes in the core framework. web2py.js includes code that depends on
particular HTML classes and data-* attributes generated by web2py HTML
helpers and widgets, so sometimes changes in the core framework are coupled
with changes in web2py.js and the two must therefore be upgraded in tandem.
This is less likely to be the case with other app-specific files. For
example, you can upgrade appadmin.py and appadmin.html, but the old
versions should generally continue to work with new versions of the
framework. It's probably worth upgrading web2py_ajax.html as well.

I didn't mean you should create symbolic links to the web2py.js file in the
welcome app -- I meant actually serve that file via its usual URL. So, in
web2py_ajax.html, instead of using URL('static', 'js/web2py.js'), change it
to URL('welcome', 'static', 'js/web2py.js').
