By the way ... one big use case I'm seeing for jQuery replacements lately is being a drop-in replacement for BackBone apps, since they need just a tiny fraction of jQuery's capabilities but do carry around all it's weight for no particularly good reason. I'm not sure if Minified.js qualifies for that, but if it does you should definitely make a bigger point of that ;)
