99.999% of the time we don't need scripts loaded for the RadListView, especially in the context of Sitefinity. Would it be possible to have a webconfig setting that would let us globally disable it's scripts so it's a pure\clean server-side repeater\rendering tool? The problem is with it on the page it sends it's script, and jQuery and whatever else (Core.js?)...when zero of those are used at all.
You can disable some of the embedded scripts. http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/introduction-disabling-embedded-resources.html And additionally to set RegisterWithScriptManager=false to particular controls.
