I did test the newer jquery-ui, but it didn't work out of the box; I'll 
look a bit further, there aren't many errors so it may be fixable. My 
main concern is the making sure the update doesn't break some 
less-obvious functionality that no one will notice before it reaches stable.

I filed bug #1001203 against libjs-modernizr requesting an update. I may 
be able to prepare it myself (the package appears to be team-maintained) 
but I'm not familiar with the package and I'd prefer to avoid breaking 
its current reverse-dependencies with the newer version.

Sincerely,
Daniel Ring
