[development] jQuery 1.2 is released

[Kevin Reynen]

There's also a problem of control.  You're assuming that all releases are
compatible with Drupal.  In TinyMCE's case, not all of Moxiecode's releases
have been "Drupal friendly" .  You'd actually need a third server/service to
ping the URL of the most recent approved releases of external code.

This idea was floated during the "no third party code" discussion back in
May (my summary of that discussion -
http://groups.drupal.org/node/3364#comment-12473).  Derek Wright did a great
job of outlining the issues with this approach and was very clear that he
was not going to write scripts to do this. (
