Every "select" input in backend is altered. This is bad for extensions with jQuery acting on those and losing their selectors. It's also bad if they want a multi-select list, which is turned into this god awful textarea with "x"s to remove items. Is there a tag needed or API needed to disable this usage for a specific extension as it's completely breaking elements of our backend. I really do like bootstrap but the jQuery being used currently is far far too aggressive, only target  a specific class that someone has to manually add to their input to have this display or you're auto-breaking extensions.

In addition to this there is a width placed on every input, frontend and backend. This should be removed and only specifically target Joomla elements where needed. For extensions like ours, Community Builder, this completely alters registration and profile edit displays as well as prevents the element "size" attribute from having any affect. Solution is for us to add CSS to reset it back to auto, but developers shouldn't have to do this for their extensions. Basically the new template is too aggressive.

In some cases you may need to update the chosen instance manually, see

I agree that Javascript and styles are used too aggressively at least
in admin template.
