Hi Terp,
packing only what is required is the way to go. However, things become complicated when more mootools powered extensions are installed later. For example, the default mootools file in 1.5 is 70K. You cut that down to 40K by getting only what you need to power the template. Later, you install Abc Slideshow, which happens to need a component of mootools that you cut out earlier.. you would have to go back to the mootools site and re-download it again, making sure to include the missing bits.

This is something that should be directed to the joomla core team (of which i'm no longer apart remember) and perhaps a ticket should be submitted on the joomla tracker??? this would be a better solution than us trying to replace the core joomla version.
The Joomla core still outputs tables, which we must override in our templates. The joomla menu's aren't up to scratch so we override them in our templates. The link I posted above explains how to "override" the joomla mootools output in our templates. No different at all IMO.
I believe it has already been brought to the attention of the core team via a whitepaper for 1.6. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

I'm just saying we don't really overwrite any core feature from our templates, we sometimes replace it with our own (like the menus), although that was a requirement for 1.0, not so much for 1.5. To replace the built in one yourself is easy, just go to:
www.mootools.net/download
and select the bits you need or all, then choose a compression type, it seems the joomla built in one is jsmin only. I don't see why they can't use YUI to compress and put that in 1.5.3 or whatever. its not a big deal.

- depends on the template, either in the index.php or the rt_head_includes.php in the last few templates. BTW this is for 1.0 only, in 1.5 we use the built-in mootools.

- You'd find that in the index.php file.
