I would say no. Anyway, looking at the development done for 3.4, the
trend is to avoid inline js. We are now supposed to use jQuery to make
visible a link or button that brings the user to a feature that requires js.

Note that 3.3 and 3.4 have problems with this. For example, Synchronize
should not be shown to non-js users. Clearly, testing on non-js browsers
has not been our priority.
