I thought it was clear from the "not maintainable" part that I did not suggest we use minified source as source code. I was merely pointing out that it technically still was source code in the sense that the same compiler/interpreter yields the same result with the minified code as with the original one.

I absolutely agree with you that it does not work with our current way of packaging, but that's what this discussion about. IMO it would be great if we found a way to offer these applications to our users.
