The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Currently, proper attach/detach coverage is lacking in our JavaScript files. Also it might be nice to at least trigger some basic events (passing a reference to the current instance along) upon attach/detach).
Both should make the drupal core scripts more extensible and 3rd party friendly.

nod_Umm not too happy about the duplication. Please add the attach/detach comment to the issue summary of the other scripts (we already have 1 issue for each of those, most of them are still open).
If the issue is already closed, create a new one and link it underneath the previous one, (see what I did for tableheader).
A big table like that is pretty annoying to maintain and I don't want outdated ones in the issue queue. Thanks.
I'll let you close this one if you agree, otherwise ping me on IRC or leave a comment :)

kiphaas7 commentedFine by me. I'll try to figure out which issues need the attach/detach and basic events.
