Hi, During the recent DjangoCon sprints there have been some discussions between Jannis, Rob Hudson and I around a change which occurred in trunk a few months ago in r16415 [1]. This change specifically made the admin use jQuery.noConflict() instead of jQuery.noConflict(true) while namespacing its embedded jQuery library. This change had been motivated by some concerns raised on django-dev about the previous behaviour impeding third party plugins relying on the presence of jQuery in the base namespace [2]. However, since that commit there have been some counterbalancing concerns in #16776 about the change making it harder to use multiple versions of jQuery [3].
The problem is that all the discussions so far have been quite speculative. No concrete example of how problematic this boolean would be, whether turned on or off, has been presented. We'd like to avoid breaking things in the upcoming 1.4 release, so we'd appreciate getting some feedback from developers who are used to customizing the admin with third party plugins or with multiple versions of jQuery. Currently the consensus is the status quo. If you have strong opinions on whether or not the change in r16415 should be reverted, then please provide concrete arguments for it. If you know how this question is handled in other frameworks then that would also be quite useful to hear about. Many thanks!
