This was discussed at some length in #3534. I think you will need to provide a strong argument to convince @btford and @pkozlowski-opensource that this is a good idea.

Personally, I think that this change is so simple that whether one feels that minifying ngMocks is a bad thing or not, providing annotated code seems reasonable, both from the point of view of consistency and being nice to people who do want to do this. What is the downside?

I agree with @petebacondarwin on this. There's no downside, and the annotations are useful. Just because we don't provide a minified ngMock on bower or anywhere doesn't mean we can't make it min-safe.

That being said, you probably shouldn't ship ngMockE2E as a fake backend in production like in #2250. It's not intended for that.

let's merge this in. it's harmless. we have no way to test it right now, so if we break it in the future, we'll fix it when someone complains.
