Not an issue per se, but I wonder if it would be better to bump the minor version of jquery-rails when a new minor version of jquery is bundled?

For example, 1.0.17 of jquery-rails included jQuery 1.7. If it were tagged as 1.1.0 instead, we could more easily manage the version of jQuery we want in our Gemfile. It's not currently possible to `bundle update` and get the latest patch release of a particular jQuery version.

# We want jQuery to 1.6.x
gem 'jquery-rails', '~1.0'

Of course, this is tricky to manage sensibly for jquery-rails because it essentially bundles up a bunch of different libraries.

What I'm wondering aloud is whether there is a more meaningful way to tag jquery-rails releases. What does everyone think?
