Hi! If my extension does not need jQuery and I don't like minification, why can't I still use OutputPage::addScript() in my code?
You totally can. It's not recommended, and it'll be less performant, but you can use it and it'll work. Your script tag will end up near the bottom of the <body> though, so you can't use inline JS to call functions defined in that script.
Aren't too much number of extensions would become suddenly incompatible due of that change?
As long as they're not using inline JS, they won't break.
