#2"jQuery is now powering about one-half of all the major web sites on the Internet"
Anybody have any data on this?

#3A lot of good changes in here. The modularity will improve usability -- particularly for sites who want the core jQuery features without all the extras. My hope is this will make it easier to use jQuery on mobile -- and more comparable to Zepto in terms of size.
I remember reading somewhere that 1.8 would drop support for quirks mode in IE. Anybody know if this ended up happening? I didn't see any mention in this post.

It sounds nicely ambiguous. What's a 'major' website?

I can't imagine why you'd need jQuery on mobile in the first place? What exactly are these core features that the standard DOM apis don't give you?

"I can't imagine why you'd need jQuery on mobile in the first place?"
How about having the jQuery functionality on mobile device?, Recommended reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery

I suppose you write all your code in assembly too? There's no room for going higher-level than the APIs exposed by the browser?

#10What the jQuery team either perceives or peddles as "modules" are simply split files; there's no encapsulation. All that's new is a shiny node.js builder.
I am interested, though, that the team has finally noticed that optional code should be the norm. Resig himself has been quoted as wanting nothing to do with it[0].
However, omitting every single "module" only truncates 2484 lines, which leaves the 1.8.1b source at a staggering 6763 lines of code. There is still a great deal of work to be done before "modular" is a fair term to apply to the API.
