<pre wrap="">I would certainly back a process where we stepped back and looked at
where things are now in client side web development best practice and
where they are going. This should be led by someone who had already
heard of Grunt, Broccoli, Gulp, Backbone, React, Ember, Polymer,
Angular, Mocha, Casper and Karma before reading the YUI announcement! (I
hadn't heard of most of them - perhaps that's just me, though.)

most of those aren't relevant to bugzilla (task runner, client-side
asset builder, build system, testing, complete frameworks, ...). <br>

modern javascript web development generally doesn't mesh well with large
legacy applications, and i'm concerned that taking a step back at this
stage to evaluate a large rewrite of the UI would not result in timely
decision.<br>
<br>
our immediate need is to determine if we should continue the yui3 path,
or move to a jquery based widget library.<br>
if we decide to move to jquery, then we should be talking about widget
libraries, not wholesale rewrites.<br>
