Comment (by gcorne):

 I understand your point of view and think that it would be worthwhile for
 someone to open a dialog with Jeremy or one of the other Backbone leads.
 Since version 1.1 has already been released, I think we shouldn't delay
 updating because the delay will mean that plugin authors writing new code
 may write in a style that is only compatible with older versions of
 Backbone. The good news is that if plugin authors are taking advantage of
 {{{wp.Backbone.View}}}, the change to no longer automatically attach
 {{{this.options}}} won't cause problems. We could consider adding wrappers
 for {{{Backbone.Model}}} and {{{Backbone.Collection}}} to provide us with
 a way to try and avoid backwards-compatibility issues, but that won't help
 Backbone code that has already been written.

 We also could explore using {{{wp.Backbone = Backbone.noConflict()}}} so
 that it is easier for plugin authors to supply their own version of
 Backbone should they choose.
