Not saying not to include it. Just providing full disclosure and that 
we need to be careful with siding with a particular JS framework.

For example if you include a Prototype control in your Page and want 
to use JQuery you are bound to run into incompatibility issues since 
Prototype have the bad practice of polluting Object. Also both 
frameworks bind the '$' character.

There are no plans of removing the Prototype controls however we need 
to be careful because we are forcing the Prototype framework onto users.

My own feeling is that its better to host specific JS framework 
controls in ClickClick like was done with JQuery.
