whats the difference between full, min and packed js package. Whenever i download a good js application, it asks for three different files. Are these three interchangable?

Popular open source Javascript files comes in different flavours, they have no difference in its feature:
full: full javascript code + comments, most useful for developers. Larger filesize however.
min: javascript code with comments and additional space/line break removed. Source code is very difficult to read, but by removing those non-compiling data the filesize is now smaller.
packed: by compress your Javascript using packer (eg/ http://joliclic.free.fr/php/javascript-packer/en/) truely minimise filesize of the Javascript. Source code is NOT readable, filesize is to the smallest but come with 1 cost: extra loading time on your Javascript.
Some said unpack Javascript doesn't take any time, others think packing is not "optimistic" in today's wide bandwidth.
Personally, I go for min.
Yes, it is the way jquery in use today.
But now provide two flavors only.
