Implementing NoConflict into my template

[jdran]

I want to make a template for Joomla 2.5 using HTML5 (for making older IE understand new elements I was going to use the html5shiv.js) and I was looking for how can I implement the noConflict method and I found this (old) article:

Jquery in Joomla

I don't know if it is still current but I guess it is. However, I don't understand this part:

Also, distributing multiple copies of jQuery discourages the use of Google’s JavaScript library CDN.

Does it mean I should avoid loading the jquery using the Google API?
I was planning to call the latest-version such as:

Code: Select all

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"
        type="text/javascript"></script>

but what the author said made me worrying that there may be a problem in the future.

Also, as another question, is there a reason I should consider using a plugin such as JqueryEasy? I mean, why should I want another plugin installed if I can do it directly into my template?
