Comment (by OriginalEXE):

 Removing events is only 'dangerous' if removed elements are going to be
 returned to the dom.

 From my inspection, this does not happen anywhere. The only place where
 object is returned (and where events could potentially break) when
 `.html('')` is used is in wp-ajax-response.js, so just to be sure, i used
 `detach()` there instead.
