 Oh yay, more begging for something new. Last time you guys hounded us to update the jQuery library file we got a whole heap of problems. Perhaps we ought to wait until things are smoothed out first? Kinda like rushing to get a new browser version and then getting buried under a slew of bugs.
As far as I can tell through a few minutes reading, it isn't yet IE compatible? That's a problem right there. Coders and theme designers may be okay with ignoring and neglecting IE users but we're not.

The <video> tag can solve that problem too! This is how it works:

Code: HTML
 
<video src="video.ogv">
<embed insert_here_some_sort_of_flash_player_that_plays_Vorbis_and_Theora />
</video>

I would appreciate if you didn't take a condescending tone... especially since the fault is on the author of the code that broke. If you don't follow the standards - and, really, they aren't that hard - then, in my opinion, your code deserves to break... of course, the exception is when you write code to function in a specific way under a specific version, like the slider code in the admin CP. Then, there are also slider UI implementations - that are stable, thanks to the update - that other people are keeping up to date for you.

As for the compatibility with IE, there are alternatives that have been created. Look where the human race would be today if people didn't move forward in spite of having difficulty upgrading? I'm sure the switch to electricity was moderately challenging at the time, but look at where we are now.
