-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Aaron,
Thanks for creating a JIRA issue about it and adding some patches. You're definitely right about the number of GETs slowing down page loads. I was planning on creating one dojo include per VCL page in the next release, though I never created a JIRA issue about it. I did do some work already, but I like how you structured it a little better.
