Re: jquery.autocomplete.js

Thanks for the explanation Shad.
I'm a bit confused as well as a few users that are using GIT or just 
using a recent experimental version.
The g2import, server_add and tag modules still have calls to combine the 
original JS & CSS files.
Doing an upgrade to an experimental version causes the logs to be filled 
with
error: Can't find css file: jquery.autocomplete.css
error: Can't find script file: jquery.autocomplete.js

Does that mean that the underlying code has been updated to use the new 
gallery.autocomplete function in gallery.common.js is used but the code 
in the helpers, for example:

static function head($theme) {
return $theme->css("jquery.autocomplete.css")
. $theme->script("jquery.autocomplete.js")
. $theme->css("tag.css");
} are not needed anymore or will there be future commits to remove those 
return calls?

Cheers!
Dave
