[theme-reviewers] Plugins and Themes

[Merci Javier]

Hi Emil.

AFAIK, plugins which are hosted in the WP repo shouldn't be deregistering
core jquery at all.

Best thing to do is report such plugins or inquire at
plugins at wordpress.organd 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.

Mercime
