Not being a fan of used shared CDNs for static resources[1], I don't see the issue here. They're going to have to download something anyway so from the perspective of your users it's still one download, just smaller. With proper unique namespacing (unique URL per version) and HTTP Cache-Control headers, they only have to download it once (assuming they don't clear their local cache).
