I.e. I guess you didn't write the tree by hand? Yes, but it's only to compile jQuery. If I take another random project, I will get a different set of plugins. Or maybe you propose to just ship the whole "node_modules" directory (which has all the dependencies) with jQuery sources? This would incur some work on d/copyright and I don't see like this would be a good practice. But this would solve some of the problems, yes. -- Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral?
