jquery-rails should not be a dependency

[shaneog]

It should be up to the gem user to decide how to integrate jQuery in her project.

For example, I use jQuery via bower and I don't want to add jquery-rails as a dependency of my project.

What about jquery-ujs?

[akostadinov]

jquery-ujs is shipped inside jquery-rails gem. I guess user can install it externally as well.

FYI for Rails 5.1 I figured by trial and error that you need to disable rails-ujs and require jquery_ujs. Otherwise forms get submitted twice.

I second the removal of jQuery as a dependency. I'm currently integrating jQuery via Rails Assets. So jQuery gets included and loaded twice when I use the Smart Listing gem.
