By the default one I mean !Joomla's bootstrap.js.
You cannot avoid loading it through index.php either way.
This issue rose after version 3.1.5 where the library is loading when necessary.
If someone needs it for his/her frontend he could include the JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework') in order to use the already existing library instead of reloading it through another place.
You could read more about the use of that here:
