After downloading the Dojo 1.2 src I found that both dojo.js.uncompressed.js & dijit.js.uncompressed.js are missing. Was this intentional, my team has found it beneficial to have these files provided in the past.

In the 1.2 "release" (not -src) yes, we took the .uncompressed.js out in leiu of shipping _just_ the compressed files. The rationale was that a dev would either be using the "light" version in deployment right out of the box, or be using the -src release and running their own build. (the build system still creates the .uncompressed.js files, so you can run your own "stock" build from it)
This obviously is debatable, and if there is enough desire from the community to ship the extra files, it can definately be addressed. for 1.2.0 however, you will need to download the -src release, and work from pure uncompressed files (and make your own profile=standard build) or work exclusively from compressed files.

I also would like to see these files in the build

Thank you Peter
I appreciate your quick response. I agree that this issue is debatable, you would know better than I if there are concerns raised by the community with respect to including these convenience files. I personally believe the convenience of including these files out weigh the cost of not including these files to save on the download size. In my situation I have a staff of 10 active dojo developers and some are more junior than others. I tasked a couple of them with upgrading to the newest version and they immediately found the files missing. We have an upgrade process in place since .4x to first test with the uncompressed dojo file as it eases the interaction with firebug when a error occurs. Just a small window into one of your clients daily lives. We hope to be able to share some of our efforts in the near future. The corporation I work for has some legal concerns with sharing open source...
There have been a lot of
There have been a lot of requests for this, actually. Definitely worth re-considering, though not something we can just pushing back into the 1.2 release (you can grab a -src release and run a 'standard' profile build and use those .uncompressed.js files).
For what it's worth, the decision was more aimed at the dijit-all rollup/layer which adds approximately 600k and basically duplicates the entire dijit project. Do you think that file would be necessary too, or just dojo.js.uncompressed.js?

Noticed the uncompressed file in the -relese folder online
I found that the uncompressed files are included in the http://download.dojotoolkit.org/current-stable/dojo-release-1.2.0/. For my needs that is just as good, I can live with an extra download as needed. Furter, we have custom builds with respect to our widget components and seldom find a need for the dijit uncompressed file. That file comes in handy when we are creating or enhancing widgets while taking out any vairables my team may have introduced in our dojoc (dojo custom) project. It removes the possibility that we may have introduce a defect in our efforts, allow us to baseline an effort before including our extensions.
