I used to work for a corporation whose only concern was with image. They were much happier to pay thousands of dollars to terrible software vendors simply because the vendors projected themselves as corporate-friendly "professionals" with "enterprise-ready solutions". I had an extremely hard time justifying using software written by Zed Shaw for obvious reasons. "It's all about the image," said a co-worker to me, "how long have you worked here and you haven't figured that out yet?" I hope I never have to work at a place like that again. The bigger problem lies in the artificial culture of "professionalism" that permeates so many workplaces to the detriment of things with real substance to them. That being said, I think the jQuery people are wise to listen to the community about things like this.
