Yeah that was always a "benefit" of using a CDN for jQuery except it never really works out in practice when there's so many versions and then you're at the disposal of a public CDN, which can be the bottleneck, especially when it's critical code. Sure you can fallback to local copies, but that just means your app hung there for X amount of time, and the added complexity of adding fallback logic.
