They probably should not be separated as there is more to the update than jquery.js

Currently the module is easy to use, a given version of the module includes the updated jquery.js plus any core .js file fixes.

After every minor jQuery release (1.4.3, 1.4.4 ...) will be necessary a new module release?

@Sweetchack We should keep jquery.js within the module. Each version of jQuery (even minor ones) brings changes that may need to be accounted for in the core drupal JavaScript files. For example, jquery 1.2.6, jquery 1.4.1, and other versions have brought about changes beyond bug fixes.

A concrete example can be seen when we updated drupal core (midway through Drupal 6) to use jQuery 1.2.6 rather than jQuery 1.2.3. Just dropping in 1.2.6 broke farbtastic (the color picker). We had to update that as well.

If it were just bug fixes I would be more open to providing an alternative path.
