I don't see in which world minification is considered a bad practice. This is a good practice. All JS are minified to half their sizes (compared to just gzip) and speed up their evaluation. > Why not use some pluggable minification plug-ins for Wordpress to control > minification on run-time (not on build time) and being able to opt it > out? Because nobody want non-minified JS files, like nobody want non-optimized executables (even if they are easier to debug). You are of course welcome to implement that into Wordpress if you think this is important.
