What happen if one extension turn it off for some reason? There may be a conflict as to if it should be on or not.

The extension is not validated?

Well yes but what if there a need to have it disabled because someone decided to use a different library for some reason? (just thinking outside the box, it may not happen but you never know)

<!-- IF $LOAD_JQUERY_UI --><!-- INCLUDEJS jquery.ui.js --><!-- ENDIF -->

This way, ext authors can easily load it (by just setting $LOAD_JQUERY_UI to true) and it does not waste resources when its not used.
Having it in the core (+1) and using the above mentioned solution seems like the best and most logical way to go.

What's wrong with this solution?

No, its the other way round. Its included in the core and you set that var, when you want the core to load it.

OK, registered with my own nick, works a lot better i think... ;-)

This thread stopped about six weeks ago and i haven';t seen any RFC or anything suggesting that there is a follow-up on this topic. I would like the jQueryUI to be included in the core, simply because the pros outweigh the cons a lot.

Therre is a lot of talk in the new 3.1 series to ajaxify things, there are ajaxified alerts already in (some) place(s) etc. If all ajax that will be needed for all those functions bundle into a selective jQuery bundle then it wouldn't be any "heavier" than all the js that is currently developed or will be developed in the near future.

So i am kind of curious what is decided here... ;-)

+1

I thin it will be better to be include in the core. There are alot of jquery functions over the internet. At now almost evry site use jquery inside. I think ( and i hope ) alot of theme makers will make themes with good animations wich need to use jquery.

So that are my reasons :)
