Re: [aerogear-dev] AeroGear.js without jQuery Discussion

That's why I mentioned When.js for an eventual 2.0 fallback lib "When.js is a rock solid, battle-tested Promises/A+ and when() implementation, including a complete ES6 Promise shim"

Meanwhile, there is an open source project on GitHub that claims to offer a custom builder for jQuery in order to include only the modules needed [1] [2].
