I wonder if we should even be linting the jQuery standalone file at all? Or at least should we use jQuery's own standards for linting in this case? This file is in a kind of grey area, in the sense that it's subset of functions intentionally cut and pasted from jQuery so that they can be used in non-browser environments. Does it make more sense to stick as closely to the original source code as possible so that we can more easily make "cut and paste upgrades" in the future? Thoughts @amb26 and @jobara?
