OK. Also, node_modules for jQuery is 76M (for 3.x, 70M for 2.x). I still
find using pre-minification jquery.js to be a better alternative due to
the fact is far far simpler. But whatever the consensus we may reach.

Yes, but at each release, node_modules will need to be regenerated and
inspected again.

I can't say for sure.

Parametrized and custom builds. But we don't have to solve everything at
once.
