<br>Hi Emil.<br><br>AFAIK, plugins which are hosted in the WP repo shouldn't be deregistering core jquery at all.<br><br>Best thing to do is report such plugins or inquire at <a href="mailto:plugins@wordpress.org" target="_blank">plugins@wordpress.org</a> and they can take appropriate action. They usually write back and inform you about the action taken on the plugin. I reported a plugin which phoned home (and more) and they took it off right away and let me know about it.<br>
