I see this issue as being trivial compared to keeping third party code
like JQuery plugins out of modules and CVS. That is a policy that's
blatantly ignored. I have been trying/failing to get module
developers to adhere to like this issue in the views_rotator module...

http://drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/contributions/modules/views_rotator/views-rotator.js?revision=1.6&view=markup
There are 4,000+ sites using that module with an old version of jQuery
Cycle Plugin that makes it difficult for other modules to leverage
features of the jQuery Cycle Plugin without going in and hacking the
.js file in that module.
Yes, that is a bad one too and in my opinion, this one should be brought
the attention of the webmasters [1] so that it can be handled.
I know there are improvements in the javascript handling in D7 that
allow one module to override another module's javascript, but that
doesn't change the fact that developers will ignore any "policy" if
there is no enforcement.
Again, we, the users are the enforcers. So if we find something out of
line then we need to bring it to the attention of the administrators.
