It would be so helpful to have the un-built source code of the JavaScript API. This would allow me to include Esri modules within my own dojo build layer file resulting in significantly fewer requests. Not to mention how helpful it would be in debugging.

Also, certifying the JavaScript API against a range of local Dojo versions (e.g. Dojo 1.7+), similar to the way jQuery UI is implemented with jQuery, would offer more flexibility.

Yes. At the very least this sample should be updated: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/mapconfig_customdojo.html. It doesn't work with current Dojo or JSAPI versions.

Source code helps in debugging and understand why the JSAPI is throwing an error. It also helps writing custom dijit to work with the api.

Attention: ESRI applies changes to the dojo-version included in their JavaScript API. This happens completely intransparent and is sabotating custom builds.
